dave Report post Posted August 30, 2006 The ulimate goal is to Robin Hood your buddy's arrow. I have received the treatment once but never in 35 years of shooting have I been the deliverer. There is always something to look forward to. Congrats mulie hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr8 White Jr Report post Posted August 30, 2006 Nobody will probably believe this but I will tell you guys anyway because I swear it is true! Last year I bought a new AR34 from Corner Archery. I was was shooting in their indoor range at 20yds trying to get the frst 125 arrows through it before tuning it. After about ten minutes of shooting I got my first robin hood ever. I was so excited. The unbelievable part is that not even three minutes after I had got my first robinhood, I did it again. I couldn't believe it! After seven years of shooting archery I had never gotten a robin hood before and then in a mater of 2, maybe 3 minutes, I had done it twice. I was so glad I was at Corner and had witnesses! Ronda (store owner) didn't charge me for my range time because she said that in all the years she had an archery shop she had never seen or heard of anyone gitting two robin hoods that quick. After all I had to order another half dozen arrows from her because I had just wasted four. Expensive but worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelney Report post Posted September 1, 2006 The first one is always exciting. Kind of like a certain archery accomplishment. However, after that you realize it is costing a lot of money it loses its glory really quick after the first two times. You realize that you never shoot the same spot twice.

shortpants Report post Posted September 6, 2006 You guys want to talk about skill with a bow, check this out. A good friend of mine and I were shooting one day. I was standing right next to him but facing the other way when the sound of metal skipping across the desert floor made me turn around to ask what the heck was that? Right then he raised his left hand and it had an allen wrench sticking out of the top of his thumb! He shook his hand and it went flying out. Apparently he had made adjustments to his bow and then not thinking, stuck the 2 allen wrenches he was using in his mouth. He drew back and released, the string ripped the allen wrenches from his teeth chipping his tooth and sticking 1 through his thumb! Now that's talent!
