Default Almost got a Robin Hood

I was shooting today at 20 yards and I shot 4 arrows at the same target. The second one I shot hit the first one and I heard a smack. I shot the other 2 as if nothing happened. I went and got them and got ready to shoot them again when I saw that one of the nocks wouldn't fit. I looked at it and saw a crack in it. I was so close to getting a Robin Hood. I will shoot at different targets from now on although I do want to get a Robin Hood!

Almost doesn't count, except with horseshoes and hand grenades


Once I start grouping really tight, I usually start aiming for different spots on the target. Robinhoods are nice, but arrows cost too much

Unless a person is aiming at the center of the nock of the arrow that is already in the target and can "Robin Hood" a consistent ratio of more hits than misses, Robin Hoods are a 99.99% accidental occurrence.

I was at the range last Friday and the fellow shooting next to me got his first Robinhood. He just started into archery a month and a half ago. The guy was thrilled to death and I was happy as heck for him. The fellow was shooting 2 inch groups at 20 yards consistently. Not bad for this third time out and brand new to the sport.
At my suggestion he will now be shooting at multiple spot targets. He can not afford the cost of a lot of replacement arrows.

Nice going Zak

I've never had one, but I guess I'm gonna have to step up to about five feet and just get the monkey off my back.

I have one. Only had 5 arrows, shooting a 5 spot leage, and wham. I was kinda ticked. But I am glad to get one. The other day I shot my friends arrow. I was standing next to him, aimed at his nock, and wham. Split that sucka in 2. But I ruined his Easton Axis. Opps.

Congrats. It took me a few years. Took my friend, the one above, less than a month. Lucky.
