Congrats, a bet is a bet!

Actually on Mythbusters they were trying to prove that Robin Hood couldn't have done it. The reason being is that he was using wooden arrows and the grain of the arrow would not allowone arrowto actually travel the entire length of the other arrow. The arrow would splinter off one way or another. That is a myth that cannot be busted.

BTW here is another pic of an expensive Robin Hood.

Sometimes that picture is worth onlya $110 and not 1000 words. Yuk Yuk Yuk. I love it.[8D][8D][8D][8D][8D] Hey, and what did you expect..for the arrow to go all the way down the other shaft. You won't get much more penetration with a compound. Robin hoods usually stop by the time they get to the front end of the fletching. Spend the $110 for two new arrows and take your friend to lunch.[8D]

At our local archery shop, we take plastic christmas ball and hang them from the cieling, normal target height. One of the techs there robin hooded two arrows, that would be four wasted, in the same night in this ball. He has done it in a normal target puposely before a couple times, but when told he could not do it while shoting the ball, he did it, the second set was to prove it was not just luck. It only took like 5 tries, but he hit the ball every time he shot. Thats good.

That is agreat story. My luck would be that if I were trying to get a robinhood, I wouldn't get one.

One time I had just made a dozen alum. arrows. These arrows were made for shooting in the old IBO indoor hunter rounds. You shot indoors at 20 yards at a black and white animal target. You couldn't see the bullseye from the shooting line, but you could use your binos and pick a spot. It was difficult to shoot a 300 on a target like that. There was a good chance that you'd shoot a glance out on each 5 arrow end. You shot this just like an NFAA 300 round,except you couldn't see the bullseye.

Anyway, the arrows I made were super slams 2115s with 3" fletch and saunders combo points. The combo points were supposed to glance out less. Well, I shot the first round and had robinhooded, no big deal. Then my GF shot and robbinhooded also! 4 arrows out of a dozen gone the first time they were shot! Dang it!

The first two shots that I ever took with my bow robinhooded. I was kinda mad cause I only had enough money for 6 arrows and I ended up ruining 2 of them. Talk about beginners luck
