Good shot, very impressive.

I have done in the past with bows and arrows, maybe twice? But I used to be very good at darts, and used to do Robinhood trick shots all the time for beers

Been a while for me. Can't really make it out but the 2nd arrow disappeared inside the 1st arrow splitting the carbon and alu off to make the curls. This is a worcester so 20 yards IIRC

ps ,what does worcester IIRC mean?, 20 yard is a good distance. My aim is to be accurate from about 20 meters. I wouldnt take a hunting shot after that after that (i woudlnt anyway but the distance is the goal) I have set myself five years to achieve it but I think I am doing ok after less than a year. x

It's a specific indoor target archery round. I had to google it to refresh my memory but it's;
Worcester20 yd (18 m)5 doz.16 inches

There are imperial rounds and metric rounds, indoor and outdoor rounds, it's just one of the indoor rounds we used to shoot. The other, more popular indoor round was a Portsmouth;

Portsmouth20 yd (18 m)5 doz.60 cm

I think I used to do warwicks outdoors, up to 100 yards.

Once is bad luck...twice is careless! :lmao:

I have not done that, but I was once very pleased with a tight group I shot while practicing with broad heads...right up to the point I realised I had sliced half my fletchings off! From then on it was one shot per target spot. More realistic, still a group, but spread out so one doesn't damage arrows.

yeh my groupings are getting tighter and the paradox is that the better you get the more money it costs, x

dont understand any of that. I am suprised at some of the long distances. I dont think I could shoot that far but to be fair I havn't tried x

What bow and kit are you using….and why not multiple aim points?
i will use multiple points i think, its a good suggestion, at the moment i use a blank business card with a pound coin size black dot in the middle. i try to follow the practice of aim small, miss small. x
