RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
Congrats on the RobinHood. It gets expensive after awhile if you keep doing that though!
Now to be critical .. you "technically" Robinhooded an arrow .. but my friends and I would call that a wrecked arrow and a line cutter as a true Robin hood has to be DEAD center of the bullseye or 12 ring in your case.
To BE Robin Hood ..... you gotta call it!

RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
Have done it numerous times over the years. It's harder to do with aluminum arrows that have the taper on the end. The point has to break the nock then hit the taper just about perfect to split it and follow it down. The arrows that have nock inserts have a larger margin of error. Either way it's cool the first couple times. After that you tend to pull them apart to save one arrow.
I too try not to shoot at the same spot too much, but every now and again, ya just gotta group them

RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
Since I went to the ICS hunters with the small ACC nock adapters it's really tough. The opening is so small that it usually kicks out and takes a corner off before it can't skewer the arrow.
Never, and to be honest I'm glad. I love wearing hats and if I ever get one replacing all those hats for my swelled head would really get costly!

RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
Thanks for the replies. It was "Holy Sh@!" did I just do what I think I did. It was cool doing it for the first. My shots are tightly grouped by I never thought I would have done what I did. I have arrows rub against each other in the targets.
Thanks again for the replies, Hope everyone has a good New Year

RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
Pretty cool eh? I punched 6 arrows last year. 5 with my old bow and 1 with my new bow. I am sure that the arrow manufacturers love to see this posted. I never had one until this year. I never will again because now I wont shoot two arrows at the same spot.

RE: "Robin Hood" Shot
I've done it 3 times this year (seems to be a popular number), and believe me when I say I don't like it. If it meant I was a great shot, I'd love it, but all it means is that I was lucky (unlucky actually). If I could call the shot and do it everytime, then it would show skill, but heck one is bound to hit where another one does, when you shoot thousands of shots. It's just bad luck and costly too.
