my wife went to bed early this evening so i have been out in the garage shooting my bows.. And shooting good I might add from about 12 yards i sent a gold tip 33/55 into another one. first time that has ever happend to me.. If I only had pics and about 20 witnesses that would have been better... Anyway Im proud of myself and wanted to jump here on my fav site and tell yall..
Good on you!
My one and only rh was with aluminum arrows, and I have to think that was easier than with a slimmer carbon like yours.
Keep it up!
And what does a robin hood really speak about, that's right...form consistency. Good job!
Congratulations, I had my first RH a couple months ago and couldn't believe what I was lookin at. Had to drag the wife outside as a witness.
LOL.. I just woke the wife up to tell her about it.Her reply was dont forget to let the dogs out to potty and get me a glass of water.. lol.
Cool!
Now you have the confidence to go out and kill something.. :saywhat:
Congrats!
Shoot another.
After the 1st couple, the novelty may start to wear off and then again it may not.
Too often of an occurrence can make it expensive. Had one last week and I was non too pleased when others with me thought it was cool.
I have got about eight RH's to date, you will find as you get a few more that it is not all that great(from a financial standpoint) when you have to buy more arrows. But for now congratulations!!!!
Good Shooting!
Congrats, but don't be doing that to much or you'll be out of arrows.
It's a pretty cool "trophy." I shot my first RH last summer. I laughed at first, then realized I just ruined 2 arrows. I hung it on my bow rack.
Congrats!
Yeah, it is a great feeling till you figure out how much it cost. But Congrats.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!! I can't afford to shoot that well.........unless I have a buddy's arrows to shoot at :archer:
I like to see the arrow in arrow shots. Shooting woodies this is as close as I've gotten.
You can see the missing nock. Not dead center, but awfully close.
Like the above poster said, it shows you're having consistency in your form. Way to go!!

I did it once, with aluminum, and lots of years of shooting, mine probably don't count though, it was a compound bow, and there's no way to know how many thousands of arrows I had shot over the years, if I ever do it with Trad. equipment, it will be even more luck than it was with the compound.

Same here, took a target and my High Country to my uncles house one time for some practice. The first 2 shots at 30 yards put one almost dead center, and the following a RH. But yeah, not quite as impressive with a compound for sure.
Very cool, but can get very expensive!!
congradulations :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Way to go congratulations.
:notworthy: CONGRATS, but it can get a bit on the expensive side. :biglaugh:
ive hit the shaft from a diff angle and cut the carbon arrow clean in half lol
good shooting!! but it can be an expencive excersise believe me i know.
Congrats.
Congrates on your robin hood especially with carbons. Aluminums are a little easier.
:archer2:
Congrats. I have a buddy who shoots pink fletching. I hate following him in three d shoots because no matter where he hits on long targets. My "eye" picks his damn pink arrow to stack in with. We always have a good laugh. I guess I subconsciencously like pink. :) Let the razzing begin.
I'm stoked at your excitement!
Good on you buddy!
Now you can switch to shooting separated dots with each arrow since you now know it's possible to ruin an arrow shooting at the same dot...lol
God bless,Mudd
Congrats,closest I got was break off nocks and scratch shafts.
Congrats!
shaved alot of feathers off, close but still not a rh member.
An extra string in the hip pocket could save a hunt and make the day.
A robin hood is a cool thing. I've left all mine together that I can remember. 2 with a compound at 30 yards, and my favorite, 12 yard shot with recurve that broke the nock off and entered the swage such that it flared the swage into 4 equal parts.
Here's to a few more robin hoods for you!

Congrats Its cool the first time then after that it starts to be a pain fixing arrows and busting expensive ones. Widow
Put it up on the wall. the first one is a really cool thing. You start doing it very often and all it does is tick you off. I have two on the wall in ,my garage. Now when it happens I just pull them apart, salvage all the parts I can from the front one and throw the rest of it away, and put the back one back in my quiver (after checking for cracks that is).
Congrats on your RobinHood!!!

Congrats! Did it carbon on carbon with a compound and wish I had kept it. It went over half way through the other arrow and just bulged out around it it was so clean and left the penetrating arrow unbroken. It really shouldn't be that tough with a compound if you are shooting the same spot with well tuned equipment at fairly close distances. Traditional for me would be quite a different story, but totally accidental at this point. I enjoyed having a pretty bad miss the other day and then picking the same original spot and stacking the arrows, both about 6" from the spot.
Congrats! Saw my first RH a few weeks ago at Eagles Flight Archery. Still waiting on my first.....Randy
