First robin hood
« on: May 23, 2019, 12:00:41 AM »
Hi guys,
No questions today. Just wanted to share a pic of my first robin hood. Was shooting at 35 yards. I'm sure it's not that uncommon but the first one I've seen since I started shooting when I was 11. I was actually trying to aim at the barcode above the arrows. Super excited but just extremely lucky.

Exciting but expensive-congrats!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Congrats good for you  :clapper: The first is exciting after that it gets expensive with the price of arrows.

Yes. It was kind of bitter sweet. I only have 4 arrows and now.

I probably couldn't even see that barcode at 35. Nice shooting.

I started in 1968 and got one in 1997.  Then got one last last Jan. Both were cool but a $10 carbon arrow wasn't.  :dunno:

Now that’s a tight group!

Was shooting with my buddy and his daughter’s boyfriend the other day. First shot from the boyfriend did the same thing to my buddy’s arrow...good thing he likes the boy...

Here is proof if you shoot enough your bound to hit the same place twice! I had another one the other day that is not in this picture.
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

You have more robin hood arrows than I've ever even owned at one time.

I always like the way aluminum curls and untwists when one arrow goes into another!

Here's a good shot of the curled aluminum around 1997. My other was carbon.

Carbons are harder to do than aluminums. You need perfect arrow flight and a lot of luck. Congrats on your first. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:

Thanks everyone. It really made my night when it happened. My wife wasn't  thrilled when I told her I needed more arrows now. Lol

I've had 1 or 2 of those accidents over the years.
