Nice but it may be time to start shooting different spots. That can get expensive. Congrats on your first Robin Hood!

Maybe it is a $20 mistake but if everybody was honest they would all like to do it at least once. I have destroyed some fletching but not a shaft yet. When I do I will probably never try it again. I would gladly sacrifice $20 to do it once. Hope to have one of those Z7 xtremes before hunting season. Have shot one and loved it.

But I don't think there is any kind of dishonesty going on with the thread. LOL! I do remember the first one I did and the bow I did it with. A Hoyt UltraTec at 30 yds using a 30" Goldtip XT with feathers. It was the first time I had tried feathers instead of plastic vanes and the first two shots were it. I was excited and after that I did try to do it again but only blew up a few nocks and ruined some more arrows. It got kind of expensive. I have not purposefully tried to do it again. It's been spot shooting since then and honestly I kind of miss that bow.

So did anyone keep the arrows they did the first Robin Hood with?
Unfortunately mine got chewed up by a young border collie puppy of my daughters. My own fault of leaving it lying on the floor in my office. I should have kept that door closed anyway.

Congrats on the Robinhood, hang on to it.
Mine were left hanging in the Bow shop I worked at for a while in 84. One with a Browning Nomad the other with a Ben Pearson re curve. Owner of the store gave me 6 new arrows for each robinhood. wish now I had saved them. I have no clue as to how many fletching and nocs I replaced in those days. Now I jsut shoot at different dots as it is a lot cheaper that way

Great arrow placement. It's an expensive experience!
