Robin Hooding

[grantwomack]

Okay, let's hear it! Tell us all about the Robin Hoods you have shot. And I am especially interested to hear if anyone has ever had a double Robin Hood... It COULD be done!

2 noticable ones for me were:
An ACC I shot at 60m during a 1381 Fremantle round, then a National U18 Minor record. Longest Robin Hood I've done.

Bought some Beiter overnocks a few years ago for my Carbon techs. I always hated the Beiter nocks because they always seemed to promote Robin Hoods. I thought maybe the overnocks would be better. Anyway the second shot I ever shot with these nocks Robin Hooded the first.
:roll:

In general I try to prevent them if possible. Too expensive.

last night at indoor I borrowed a mates 2314 alloys to try them out,shot the first shot at a target, it went a bit low. soI thought I would shoot another one at the same target as it was my first shot for the night, sure enough. Robin hooded the first one.
When I first got my Cartels I used Bieter nocks, took me 3 months to robin hood 8 of them. one of them was a beauty, shooting field at 35mt's I shot an arrow that made that scary sound. when we got to the target I found that my skiny little carbon had gone down the back of a CXL carbon, which resulted in my arrow destroying itself on the point of the other arrow. the CXL was perfectly fine after replacing the nock!
Can't win can I. :cry:

There is no justice in this world.

I wonder how in the hell they set that clip up? If you went out there with the intention of filming a robin hood you could be there for weeks.

2 possibilities I would say
1. The shooter was real close
2. The were just filming indoor when it happened

I've done it a couple of times with a longbow and cedar arrows. Feathers, pieces of wood and plastic go all over the place. At least the cost is only about $5 an arrow!

Bare-shaft testing with my compound: shot the bare shaft at 20M and Robin-Hooded it with the fletched shaft (two ACE's).

Brand new set of ACE's (my first set): first end and one of the ladies Robin-Hooded one of my arrows. I had only shot it once.

Last Friday - 90M - "peeled" the Mckinny like a banana. Adds to the - you can never have a dozen - or multiples of - arrows in your quiver. I just got some used Mcks to take me up to 24 arrows total, went out and killed one of them!!! 23 arrows in the quiver.

When I was shooting Beman ICSs and Carbon Safaris, I heavily contributed to the law prohibiting a full set of arrows.

I lost 6 to this fate!!! And 5 of those was with my arrow the killer. :x

Prior to that, my first ever robin hood was an Easton Jazz (mine) into another of my Easton Jazz arrows!!

So, my tally thus far is 6 Robin Hoods in 3 years, however, 5 of those came in the one year, and 4 of them can be seen here: http://www.mac.asn.au/robinhood2000.htm

I understand that Andrew Fuller Robin-Hooded an arrow at 90M. It was in the one ring.

[mike]

A couple of mine were at 70m, but I can't claim a 90m one.

That is an impressive bit of data for probability problem Jim!!

Jackson Fear Robin-Hooded one of my X10's in a matchplay at 70M during the selection event for the World Archery Championship Team in 1997. At the time I was using X10 insert nocks. I won the matchplay, but it cost me an arrow.

At the state indoor a couple of years ago I happened to have a look at Zoe's target through the binoculars whilst she was shooting, she'd only shot one into the 10 so far so I was waiting to see if the next would follow.

Sure enough, it did, straight into the back of the first. Impressive to watch through binoculars -- an X7 almost explodes as another one goes into it.

I think I was quite lucky to see that.
