How to prevent robin hoods?

[Mike Mecredy]

you need to just quit shooting so dang good.

[ermont]

Shoot like I do and your worries will evaporate.I'll give you classes and won't charge much.

I'm sorry I have to agree, that's like saying "Guys, my wife is too hot, what do I do?"

[doubleo]

That's a good problem to have. But it looks like you can only shoot one arrow at a time.   :D

[TroutGuide]

I almost always pick a different spot around the target to avoid and use footed arrows as well. No problems since, nocks will bust but arrows seem okay. The ones I hate are when an arrow sags down and gets cut by another.

Thanks for the helpful and funny responses guys. Robin hoods are cool at first but it ain't fun anymore as I need to order my 3rd dozen GT trads. I was hoping to hear of some magic combination of nock or point. Looks like I need to improve my shooting so I can park each arrow right next to the previous one or get some footing on the end of the shaft.

Shoot one arrow pick it up, repeat or learn to shoot lousy like me.

Increase distance.

If you wrap Kevlar fly tying thread at the base of your knock, it will hold against a split shaft.  I once had a compound guy robin hood one of my self nock wood arrows...only mushroomed the nock.  The guy couldn't believe it.  I just told him my wood arrows were stronger than his bow

The only "Robin Hood" you really need to prevent repeating is that lame Kevin Costner movie....

  :rolleyes:

That's funny.

Close your eyes.

[VictoryHunter]

Stop shooting so well! When I shoot now I only shoot with one arrow. Shoot it and then retrieve.

[Gen273]

Just let me shoot your arrows and they will be very safe from a Robin Hood.

The nock collars don't always work... this was my first and only, about 6 weeks ago, in 28 years...including my wheels days.

Back up, try 40- 50 yards

[Bladepeek]

You know, if I could do that consistently, I'd consider the cost reasonable  

[recurve maine]

^ I would agree, if I could shoot robin hoods consistently, I would actually tell my wife what my 2 dozen FMJ's actually cost!!!
