Got a "RobinHood"? - Then show it!
« on: June 15, 2013, 08:50:00 PM »
Here"s one of mine. I was trying some 2117's out of my Hill Cheetah right at dusky dark when I did this.
Had to use the flash.

   

Have several other woodies that I've split, but they didn't hang together. Was too sad to take their pictures.

I have busted a bunch of nocks but never shot a Robin Hood.....I guess I have saved a bunch of money.....lol! That looks like a perfect one!

This is my best tube - I have had a few, I shoot a lot of wood and split them maybe 4-6 inches down and then it diverts off - I am an "average" shot - just shoot a lot I guess or too close maybe - ha!

I've cut into a lot of nocks and wood but for some reason it seems a lot harder for me to make "robin Hood's with woodies than when decades ago I shot aluminum.

I still have a few of those hanging around but I'm not nearly as proud of them (wheel bow shot) as I am with my broken nocks and broken woodies.

Good shooting guys!

A pair of CE90's - one is still functional   :)  

On days when I'm feeling lucky, I avoid a second arrow at the same spot. Gets expensive.

Fun Fun on Father's Day....   :bigsmyl:  

Here are all of mine with trad equip. The two on the far left are cedars. I usually pull out the good arrow and replace it with something old. I don't get nearly as many as I used to since I started shooting skinny carbons.   :archer:

How about a “blunt” Robin hood? I took 3 shots at an object on the ground from my back door steps stepped off 37 paces.  First 2 arrows were touching and the third smacked the second busting the nock and bouncing back.

Wished my shooting was that good every day   :biglaugh:

I'm with Ron W. Been shooting some form of bow since I was 15 (now 43), have busted a bunch of nocks (@ times on purpose just to see if I could when shooting wheels), and cracked quite a few carbons. Never had one hit just right though.

My question is,

Is it a true robin hood if it is an accident, and not in the bulls eye.

Should'nt it be if it is a true robin hood it is a bulls eye, and then you ment to hit the bulls eye again causing the robin hood?

Yes, only a Robinhood if split in the bullseye.  Otherwise it's a stacked arrow.
