RE: How often???
Never. I don't try to. I know I can shoot good. I shoot a 5 spot a drill the bull almost always. I don"t need a robin hood to tell me that I can hit the same spot twice. I hate shooting groups just for the mear fact that I could robin hood or damage any of my arrows to the point that they are unshootable. Just me.[&:]
(I agree about the expensive part, though i build stabs with most of my broken arrows..ANYway)..THATS WHY I AIM FOR MY BUDDIES ARROWS..

RE: How often???
If you shoot enough arrows it is likely to happen.The fact that you have done it a number of times in a very short period I would say is a very good sign!
For a number of reasons when I practice I shoot one arrow at a time and then I go and retrieve my arrow from the target so my Robinhooding days are over.

RE: How often???
They say that Robin Hooding and arrow is like a hole in one in golf. Don't believe it. In years past 15 years I have Robin Hooded probably 25 arrows and never had a hole in one. I don't shoot arrows at the same spot a close range anymore. It really gets expensive because you just ruin two arrows each time. If you switch to Easton ACC's or any other style arrow that has a uni-bushing in the nock insert, you will get deflections and very few Robin Hoods.

RE: How often???
ive never done it in 8 years of serious shooting. I have broken tons of nocks tho, then i started aiming at seperate targets for each shot....I was helping a beginner out last summer and about their 10th shot, crack, a robin hood....the arrows were 6" off themark too
