I wish my 18 yard group looked like that! Nice shooting. Robinhoods are cool the first few times it happens. After that, not so much anymore.

Ill say nice grouping, I mean look at the main area shot out of the target.

Post by: Mudd on January 31, 2011, 05:55:00 PM
Well Jeff you done good brother!

I might make a suggestion.

Maybe you should give consideration to using the other dots on that target...like one arrow per dot....lol

Good shooting buddy!

God bless,Mudd

Thats a good kinda ouch...I like how the nock is split perfectly.  The ones I've done, very few, the nock blows off...cool.

Eric.

Nice grouping and I feel your pain on the robin hood.

My 18 yard grouping is....... You might say, not quite so tight.

Looking forward to some hunting results from that practice  :)
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: JEFF B on January 31, 2011, 06:14:00 PM
Eric the arrows are 2016 legacy with nock inserts and when ya hit the nock it drives down the middle and buggers the insert as well as the nock and shaft but i was able to rescue it even though  i cut an inch off it. but will have to stick a nock in the end. hey Bro Mudd i shoot one dot at a time so when i have shot that side out i will move to the next side and do it all over again good fun   :biglaugh:   but with out the robbin hood well looky looky here another New Zealander. Dogboy90 welcome Bro glad to see i aint the only one on here  :laughing:

Hey Jeff i am mostly a lurker here.

Hunted rabbits with a recurve when I was a teenager then got lured over to the dark side for a good few years, now I am really loving shooting recurves again but need to get my skill back up before I start taking any game with one. That and need to get out hunting more!

I always look out for your posts, nice to see other NZ'ers on here  :)

Post by: JEFF B on January 31, 2011, 06:35:00 PM
i have a lot of shooting to do before i go to the USA this year thats for sure at least i got 25 yards down in to the garage i just sit the Block on a chair and shoot missed a few times and went into the garage wall But hey thats another story.  :o
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: Killdeer on January 31, 2011, 06:39:00 PM
Nock inserts?
You cut the swaged end of a Legacy off and use push-m-in nocks?

Takes all kinds, I guess. How many cut-backs before you get them to your draw length?   :smileystooges:

Killdeer   :wavey:
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: JEFF B on January 31, 2011, 06:57:00 PM
yup just cut the Bugger off and put on a nock and it takes sometimes about 2 or 3 cut-backs.  :campfire:
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens

Hate it when that happens and it will when you shoot multiple arrows at the same spot.

Yea, I hate it too but it is cool....

Post by: Sam McMichael on January 31, 2011, 09:40:00 PM
I don't know if I hate it or not as I have never done it. Might be cool to do it once just for a wall hanger, but too often would be too costly - or so they say...

Good shooting!

Perfect split on the nock. That is some fine shooting for 18 yards. Put those arrows on the wall!
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: Steven_CO on January 31, 2011, 10:08:00 PM
18 yds...then animals look out at 18 yds.

Nice group Jeff, and yes it's kinda neat the first couple of times. After that it just costs more money and arrow building time. 3 shots per group and no more, shoot a different spot.
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: tradtusker on February 01, 2011, 12:28:00 AM
Check out that group! as well
nice shooting mate!

Post by: straitera on February 01, 2011, 06:38:00 AM
Way to go Jeff! You're ready. You gotta have a little special goodness hidden away somewhere about a robin hood no matter the cost. Go get um.
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: KentuckyTJ on February 01, 2011, 07:38:00 AM
Jeff, that's why they make all those other dots on that target. You didn't read the instructions did ya?

Nice work and great shooting.

Couldn't help but notice the wear on the target. Good shooting. May want to turn that target  :)
Title: Re: Dang i hate this when it happens
Post by: Mudd on February 02, 2011, 11:28:00 AM
sorefingers that's the only good side left to shoot at...lol

He's likely worn the other sides out already.

God bless,Mudd
