is when this happens!!!!!
Guess that's the price I pay for improvement!!LOL

AWESOME!!! It tends to get a bit costly though...

Anybody shoot an 18" Arrow? I got one for sale!!! LOL

:mad:    :scared:    :thumbsup:

That cost a few bucks.. LOL  Costly, but too cool when that happens.

Sure it gets a little expensive, but what a neat trophy. BTW, didn't the guys on Mythbusters spend a ton of cash to try to do that with no success?

I saw that one...... they claimed it couldn't be done with a wooden arrow, that it wouldn't split completely down the middle.

What they failed to take into consideration was that Robin hood wouldn't have been using processed wooden dowells for his arrows, that his would have followed the grain all the way up to the tip!

They were using dowels that had been cut across the grain. I cant diss the show too much though, I love to watch em blow up Buster!!...lol

before I saw the robin hood I thought the pic was going to be of the arrow stuck in the concrete...that would go CRUNCH too eh?

nice shot!

Well done!  ;)   :thumbsup:

Bragging rights for a perfect Robin Hood shot executed at 25 yards- PRICELESS

I have to disagree with you baretraks.That isnt a sickening sound.Thats some of the finest music in the world.That is a real trophy wall hanger.Those are some real bragging rights.Man I wish I could have done that.Some folks have all the luck.Hang them on the wall for all of the big mouth braggers to see.I bet that will shut some of them up.

Is that an aluminum arrow? When  I hit  one  of  my spruce arrows, there  is  this  "shkick"  sound  when the nock  breaks. My  field points  rarely go  more  than an inch in the wood of  the victim before splitting  off  to  the side.  Not  from bad grain, just that a field point does a poor job  of  following the grain.

The arrows in the pic were (I'll put the emphasis on WERE) Gold Tip 35/55's.

I guess I should have hung them on the wall, but the fifty grain inserts in them are a little hard to come by!!

Besides, the arrow that did all the damage was still shootable, couldn't very well retire it, it's got a lot more mayhem to cause hopefully!!

uncle berry said that the 8th dwarf shoots 18" arrows.    :smileystooges:

I'll cut this one off and stack three 100 grain inserts in the end of it so it'll spine out of his bow....

Tell him it'll be 27$ To his door!!  :smileystooges:

I was thinking this thread was going to be a crushed bow tip or another scarey delivery story.  Congrats on your loss.  :)

wouldn't know what it sounds like...unfortunately...good job shootin'

heartshot

I always hold off a little, and put the shafts tight against one another so i don't do that.  :rolleyes:        :D  Bill G.
