From what I haveread in Traditional Bowhunting Magazine, Byron Ferguson is going to attempt to prove them wrong. With his longbow and POC's.

Of course its possible, most people do it atleast once in there life if not more.

But with wooden shafts? Not possible IMO

the myth was actually to see if an arrow can splint the other arrow completly down the shaft !!! not just to robin hood like we call it

a robbin hood. pleez.. its called a waste of $10, i did 2 in 2 weeks. freaggin piss me off
from now on i will not shoot more than 2 arrows per target, i will use those 3 target targets with the 3 circles. this way the chances of that happeneing again are very slim, even though the second time i pulled a "robbin hood" it was with only one arrow shot previously. anyway mythbusters rocks!

That's what I saw them try to do on the show . They had split shafts with their shooting machine but could not get any arrow to split from nock to tip "like Robin Hood" supposedly did . Even with the straightest grain arrows , it didn't happen . When any of you can do this , then you can call those TV guys dumb . They didn't need to be archery experts to do this ! Believe it or not , these guys are pretty intelligent !
What we refer to a Robin Hood arrow is one hollow shaft splitting another hollow shaft . Once the 2nd shaft enters the 1st it follows the hollow tubing or the path of least resistance . I had my 1st Robin Hood last summer at 20 yards . In the past two months , I have had 2 more shooting from 11 yards in the basement .

Number one, a true robin hood is with wood shafts, just modern archers morphed it into hollow shafts. I think everyone of us here could post apict of one hollow shaft going into anotherif you have been shooting more than a year or two.. But not sure any of us could post a "robin hood" of a wood shaft being split from nock to point.

That is one of the points (there are others) that I'm not all that sure about. These days you would either have to get some very old POC shafts, or literally have to sort through thousands of shafts these days to find some. Byron is having his source keep an eye out the some of the best that he can find. This could take a long while.

Just wondering if you discredit Howard Hill making the shot in Robinhood? Acrording to him, this was not his most difficult shot.

???? I don't think I mentioned howard. What are you talking about?

It wasn't meantdirectly toyou BigCountry.It was more in generalto the people who believe it can not be done. I wish people woundn't post such large pictures. This topic is tough to read![:@]
