First Trad. Robinhood!!
« on: April 02, 2011, 05:36:00 PM »
Well, got myself my first robinhood w/ a trad bow today.
I just fletched some arrows up this morning and went out to check there flight. I had to cut them down a couple times until i liked them. Then i screwed on some broadheads and went out to practice. I shot 20 some arrows and then this. About 18yds and sitting down on a stool. Broadhead split it straight down the middle! Pretty cool, but now im out $40.


I have pics but dont know how to post them. If someone will post them for me i can email them to ya.

What I think is really cool is how you separated the cock feather from the hen feathers...  :notworthy:  

I know you meant to do that.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Thanks for posting the pics guy's. I thought it was pretty cool and what was really cool is that first arrow actually hit the brown spot i was aiming at and the second one would have.lol

Any hog hunters out there want to comment on shot placement? From what ive read its right above the elbow.

Let's just say the blood trail would be a short one if that had been a real pig. As said above that is one of the coolest RH's I have ever seen. I might have to hang that in my man-cave if it were mine.

Lessons learned....only one BH at a time, or you'll get high $$ wall hangers every time. They are nice to see and have. Congrats!
