That is :cool:
...however, isn't a "true" Robin Hood one in which your arrow splits an opponent's arrow? :D
Post by: Kingstaken on March 21, 2007, 12:42:00 PM
Lon, you may have a point there. Robinhooding ya own arrow costs you money. :D
And I isn't an aluminum arrow actually called an Eastonhood. Where as a Robinhood is with a wood shaft. :D :D

By the way, I read somewhere that trad archers can expect having one Robin Hood every 15 years. This is my third one in about 45 years of shooting, so I guess the story holds water.

In the current issue of TBM, Byron Ferguson talks about wanting to split a wood arrow. He's looking for some straight grain shafts to work with. If anyone can do it Byron can!

They did show the picture of the robinhooded arrow in the movie - where Howard Hill won the competition by shooting a 'robinhood'.
I believe the once in 15 years on average for a robinhooded shot. I have done it a few times; but actually got target panic from breaking a dozen nocks a night; and not having the money for new arrows at that rate. ( aluminum arrows).
I shoot broadheads 90% of the time now; and wood arrows- I have split and skinned other arrows; and hit broadheads with broadheads- not such a big trick.
Expensive though.
But for years I have shot only one arrow per target- so that my target panic stays under control. I am not THAT great a shot; but I AM that cheap: to worry about it.
When you look at all the tricks that were done in the past with bows; like shooting cigarettes out of peoples mouths and asprin from the air; its clear that shooting good enough: is not the issue.
When I shoot with someone I always shoot at their arrows; and in short order; they are shooting at mine; and robinhoods are still a great exception- you have to hit dead center to get a real robinhood- and if your off just a little- it doesn't count- as we all know.
Does anyone know if the robinhood shot by Howard Hill WAS a real robinhood ?

"Howard Hill's role as stunt archer in the film The Adventures of Robin Hood" allowed for a famous shot in which Robin Hood splits an arrow from nock to tip. It was revealed that Howard Hill was able to accomplish this only because the arrow to be split was made of bamboo, not wood."

I've never personally shot at one of my nocks before so if I HAD done one, it would've been considered a mmmmmmmmmmmiss.

This quote is hilarious...especially the last sentence.

I'd love to know the distance...if someone tells me like 15 yards or something I may start lighting candles in his honor and start a worship group.
There's alot of folks glad he isn't around to shoot Muzzy ;)

It was about a 30 yard shot on the second target of 18.

But now I shoot woodies, and I don't know about the mythbuster thing, but I've never had a "real" robin hood with them. Does this count?

Seems to me if ya shoot often enuff more than 1 or 2 at the same spot at a time than it should happen more than once in 15 yrs field archery practice I'd shoot 4 arrows per end and 5 arrows per end for the 300 round practice.Bale practice is from up close and genrally just 1 arrow so no accidents happen LOL Thats what RH's are anyway unlucky accidents even if the one I got the other night was thought about from the first arrow,the fletch was messed up on the first arrow I pulled so I thought I should put it in the X to give me somethin to shoot at and I shot at it right down the middle with my 2nd....thats not the one I took a pick of but it was an X from 20 yrds and my first on league night.the others have been during practice
