How common is this?
 

I have seen plenty of pictures of "robin hood" shots. Busted plenty of nocks and tore up fletching in my years of shooting. Just recently i shot a "robin hood". How common is this really?2007 Matthews Drenalin & Easton Epic 400 shafts. Pic-to comply with man-law.

I don't know you tell me....

i wanna know if anyone has ever robin hooded an axis arrow, bc ive shot them for two years and havent robin hooded one.

RE: How common is this?
 

Yep I robin hooded an Axis with a muzzy 3 blade split it like a banana;):D

RE: How common is this?
 

A true robin hood (bulls eye splitting a bulls eye)... Not very common at all.

Accidentally splitting an arrow while shooting groups..... happens quite often.

I aint bustin on ya cause I have never had a true Robin hood either but I have split a few arrows.

RE: How common is this?
 

Yup did it with my Easton Axis ST's last year. Didnt think it was possible but it is.

RE: How common is this?
 

damn, kinda makes me wanna shoot more arrows at each spot, jk lol! i dont wanna tear arrows up but was wondering if anyone has done it with a fp.

RE: How common is this?
 

Mine is a FP shot. All of one penetrated the other except about 3 " my arrow length is 29" and I have a 32 1/2" arrow to show off now. I used to see alot of alluminum arrows proudly displayed at my local shops, but later found out that if you pummel a target with arrows and leave them there for several rounds sooner or later you"ll get one. But carbon appears to be a bit tricky in that if you are slightly off center it"ll bust the nock,split the shaft at the nock. Not trying to brag but mine was a 30 yrd. shot at a Delta deer trgt. and was shot one and two for the day! I was lucky in several instances, cheaper arrows than now, first time so its neat, and the odds are stacked aginst me ever doing it again are tremendous :D ! ! ! ! !

Bullseye split with another bullseye, I've done it, not the EXACT center but all 5 shots inside the X ring at 20 yards.



Now what would be really impressive is 3 arrows stacked together....split the first with the second, then the second with the third. [8D]

Like bigbulls said not a true robin hood. But cool do do, once.:)

RE: How common is this?
 

5 of my 13 have come when setting bows up, and adjusting rests and sights. If you RH an arrow shooting 3 shot groups, it's a pretty good feat. None of my RH's have come at any closer than 22yds, and I had 2 in 3 days setting up new sights on a bow and transferring sights to my back-up. I shot one with each bow. If nothing else, I was consistent. I've never done it w/ a BH, because I shoot ONE BH at a time for a reason!!!! I can't tell you how many nocks and arrows I've busted, but I've "tubed" 13 arrows through the years.

RE: How common is this?
 

i thought the true meaning of "robin hood" was hitting another arrow so dead center that the arrow splits completely in half....but according to mithbusters its imposible

RE: How common is this?
 

OHbowhntr, I agree it is pretty good to do it with three shot groups but it isn't all that rare.

But a true robin hood is one arrow in the bulls eye and the very next arrow inside that arrow on purpose.

RE: How common is this?
 

This was in the 10 ring of the 3D target so I guess this qualifies as a "Robbinhood"....

RE: How common is this?
 

No one can do a true robin hood, it isscientifically impossible. It looked good in the movie though! Dang, yours looks identical to the one that I shot, the way that it is tore up at the end. Robin hoods are somewhat of a fluke because you are shooting good groups. However, I would like to see an archer call it out and then bust one! That can be done. My first and only robin hood to date was with my first two arrows shot from a brand new dozen of Cabela's Stalker arrows, which are basically Easton or Beaman's sold at a cheaper price and they are the best arrows I have shot so far. I've shot Gold Tips and Carbon Express before these and I am not looking back. I am sticking with Easton arrows. It was at 32 yards but I will have to admit mine was a fluke simply because I was shooting at the center of the target and they were hitting low. I five spot my shots now and I have to admit that it does take a little bit more skill to five spot so I prefer practicing that way anyhow. OR I will shoot three arrows to one side of the target to turn it so that it is a deer quartering away from me, then I let one rip to the center of the target for a perfect double lung shot.

How is it scientifically impossible?

I bet this guy would beg to differ.





Peter Cave (we think under the beannie?)
our 9th "Robin Hooder" for the year, Peter RH'd his own Beman Carbon Divas, the shaft was neatly split all the way to the pile. Peter shot this shaft on Saturday which was a prelude of of thing to come, having won the club weekly round Peter went on to record his PB for a FITA the next day by shooting a 1331 (well done Peter)




And this guy too.

I split an arrow last night. I was shotoing 3 shot groups at 35 yards. My fist arrow hit almost dead center andmy second shot split my first arrow. Ill post pics of the arrow after work. I didnt have a camera with me to take pics in thetarget but i have the arrows to mess with my dad since he has been trying to do this for years at 10-20 yards.
