Luckiest person ever!
 

Today, one of my friends went to our 3-d range here to shoot his bow some. Well, earlier tonight I talked to him afterwards and it turns out he split his arrow! Now what is really shocking is that he's been shooting for less than 2 weeks. I've been shooting for my whole life and have yet to split an arrow. I've gotten close but never done it.

Wow, I would say. It took me till last year to split an arrow! I have been shooting, well since before compound bows were around, and this year I seemed to click with the right arrows (make em myself), new Montana Gold Dusk Devil, and some practice. Let me tell you, I make sure I never shoot at the same mark twice now, splitting arrows is costly! [&o]

I don't find splitting arrows appealing. ACC's are expensive so I shoot at several individual dots rather than grouping arrows. I'm tired of ruining arrows...I've tube a few, busted nocks too often, creased arrows, ripped vanes.....none of which make me happy...[&:] unless it's someone elses on a challenge.;)

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

[&:]yepper that is what I am talking about, busted knocks, stripped vanes, the clanking of arrows! Some might like Robin Hoods, but I am like you Rob, one cirle per arrow, less costly! ;):)

I just bought my first bow about two months ago. (A Mathews Switchback). I was practicing in the yard a few days ago, and split my first arrow!! I would be proud, but I can't lie to myself! I know it was pure luck. I can usually group pretty good, but it was a windy day and that's not where I was aiming! So it was luck, a one in a million shot, but at least I can say I've split one if anyone ever asks! PSEarcher149, if your friend is the luckiest person ever, then I'm the 2nd luckiest! :D



AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL

Well there was this one time I split a sappling at Boy Scout camp! :D

I missed the hay bale and it went sailing over the hill and we didnt hear it hit. Then as we were going down the trail, there it was stuck in a sapling about the size of a adult finger........ I was Robin Hood...... for a second or two!

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

it would be cool the first time to pull a robin hood, but after that i wouldnt wanna do it again. im short on cash so i dont have the money to replace arrows. theclosest i've come is just busting nocks.

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

I have done it about three times in my life. I usually
shoot at different spots now. It is expensive.........

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

Ive done it many many of times.

Groups don't matter anyway except for tuning your bow. I've never seen a deer yet that wil stand still and let you shoot a group at him.

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

I think it was Jim Dougherty, the famous bowhunter who writes the column in the back of Peterson's Bowhunting,that said "One-shot groups are all that matter."

Ditto, kicker.

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

True that Mike!

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

I've only split one arrow sinse i've been bowhunting

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

It's mostly a chance thing anyway you understand. You got it right, LUCK,....only in his case BAD LUCK. Just lost $20 worth of arrows. Been there, done that,....try to avoid it at all cost.:D Besides that, I'm the luckiest person I know.

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

Yea i got a friend into bowhunting this year and i was practicing with him and told him to aim for my arrow. Well that was a bad choice lol because sure enough he robinhooded it.[&:]

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

Yes it does get exspensive! So like some of the others mentioned I shoot at different targets or spots! It was nice the first time, no more really.....and as the man said, ain't a deer alive gonna stand still and let you shoot an arrow at the same spot, I like the Army's marksmanship goal, carries over to archery too...... "one shot, one kill" ;):D:D

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

I shot two robin hoods within two shots. I have sinced bought a dozen A/C/C's and refuse to shoot groups. :D

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

thank goodness i've never split an arrow (i shoot at different targets[&:]) that would be puthetic

RE: Luckiest person ever!
 

Can I hear Amen! :D;)
