Title: First "Robin Hood" !!!!! Yahoooooo!!!!!
Post by: rholzie on August 01, 2011, 02:41:00 PM
Yesterday, I was shooting my favorite bow...a Whisperstik Mojostik! First off...when practicing, I rarely shoot at less than 18-20 yards. But, after reading a recent post here on some sort of Tradgang fun shoot "paper" plate competition, I thought I'd try a few shots @ 12 yards just to see how I'd do. >>-->  Well, I was on my third round of 4 arrows when suddenly, it happened..."Smack"...the fourth and last arrow never made it to the target!! It was almost surreal for a second! I couldn't believe my eyes! But, there they were...these two arrows stuck to each other just a swaying! >>--> I didn't think it was EVER going to happen in this lifetime! But now I can finally say, that... "I am an official member of the "Robin Hood" club"!!            :archer:                     :archer2:           >>---> Of course I had to take a million pics, so here are just a couple...

Great shot! Not to take anything away from you but..... I know it's cool to "Robin Hood" an arrow but if it were me I'd be pissed for ruining an arrow I made. I know I'm nuts but I get attatched to my stuff a little too much.
By the way great shot!

Great shooting. he first one is always cool. If you shoot carbons, it starts to get expensive after that.

Congrats! Good stuff. Had one of these years ago with aluminum, splintered a few carbons since then but never the magical RH. Awesome job!

Hey Mudd...for sure the pics would be much better if only I was sporting one of your custom fit "Robin Hood" hats! The one in the pics is an original prop hat from Hollywood film studios! Too bad it's way too small for me!   Robin    :archer2:

Great shooting! I try to keep mine spread out some so that won't happen to me. And I try to keep them outta the kill when shooting with friends so they won't hit em. Yea, right!  LOL

rholzie  It hopefully won't be too long before I can start doing giveaways again over on the Z-Giveaway forum.

I need to get caught up on some stuff and then I'll get back on track.

Good shooting!!

Thanks for the pictures and for sharing with us.

God bless,Mudd

Ok Robin, I knew those arrows looked familiar..I see you got that Mojo tuned well.  CONGRATS...I was wondering how it was coming with your new curve.  I've been shooting the Predator, but haven't decided on an arrow set-up yet.

Post by: on August 01, 2011, 07:44:00 PM
Great shot! The first one is definitely cool and should be saved as a trophy. You will (unfortunately) probably start getting them from time to time now and , after a while will actually start getting peeved at the lost $$$ when it happens.

Congrats again,

Bisch

Thanks everyone for the comments! And as suggested, I've put it up in at least a temporary spot for now! What do you think?

Nice shot... I guess.. It's too much love/hate for me, I never want to do that. I've come close with busted nocks and to me it's an arrow gone. To each his own.
Nice display, though. Bit of a bottle hound myself and it looks like you have a few...

I shaved some feathers off and took a chunk out of a couple arrows last weekend. After that, I don't want to do a robin hood, it's too expensive  :p

Got one once at 20 yards in an international competition. I was the only barebow guy shooting so they stopped the clock so folks could take pictures!

Felt pretty good against all those guys using sights.

Great shot! I only have one Robin Hood to my name. It is on the wall b/c I don't think I'll ever have another!  :clapper:

Congratulations, I still have my first one one the wall as well.
They do get costly though.
