I know that many of you fellow gangers' have multiple robin hooded shots, but this is my first offical time. Lot of close calls and cracked nocks but first true ROBIN HOOD!!!
   Just in the basement for a late night therapy session (slingin' arrows). The cool thing is I shot a bullseye and this was going to be my last shot regardless. I just burned a hole into the yellow nock and Bang! Then my arrow seemed to have gotten a lot longer. I can't think of a better way to end the night.    
   Sorry for the long post but everyone else in the house is asleep so I had to tell someone!

Congratulations, you won't like them after one or two more, they start to get expensive. I just had my third since December. Had to order 2 dozen from Big Jim just to make sure I have enough for the 3-D season and falls hunting season.

Good luck.

Congratulations.  I have had a few, but the funniest one was when I robin hooded someone elses arrow.  Was at a 3-D shoot in a light rain.  This was back in the days when the "3-D" targets were really "2-D" targets.  2-3 inch thick sheets of foam cut out in the shapes of animals, with a backing behind the kill zone.  Anyway, the light rain and a rather shot up target resulted in the arrows passing through the front side of the target and just hanging by the nock on the back side.  I was the last to shoot in our group on that station and when my arrow hit, it did not hardly penetrate???  When we pulled the arrows, I had robin hooded another guys arrow.  It was one that I kept for a long time as his arrow was 2 sizes smaller in diameter than my arrow.  Looked cool to me, but not the guy who owned the other arrow!

Congrats, I've had lots of broken nocks and trashed fletchings,  but have yet to ever have a Robin Hood, even way back in my compound days when I could stack them the size of a quarter.  Also had a few close hole-in-one moments on the golf course, but not quite.

I first one is fairly neat, from then on...not so much. Get real good at it and arrow manufactures might put you on their Christmas card lists.

Thanks everybody. I was aiming for the nock but I still think it was luck. I guess sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.  :laughing:
