Title: First Robin Hood
Post by: wharvey on June 23, 2009, 01:17:00 AM
Well it has finally happened. While I have removed fletching and dented shafts before I never managed to get a true Robin Hood, and this under less than ideal conditions.

It has been so hot and humid, or raining, here in southern Indiana I haven't been able to shoot in almost a week. I got bored with the movie I was watching so a bit before midnight tonight, don't have to go to work in the AM   :cool:   , I set up a couple of electric lights, an electric fan and shot a few arrows.

I was shooting a 15 yards, a bit closer than my normal range, and drenched in sweat and during my last round this happened.

Darn, just bought those shafts a Cloverdale a couple of weeks ago. Think I'll cut the busted shaft off in front of the labeling and make a desk pen.

(Yes it was luck more than skill but I'm not telling.    :biglaugh:

That's the main reason I use the nock end weight adapters.  Not only can you add extra weight but in the event of that happening you only lose a nock and not a whole arrow
