Ive split several arrows but this is the first time I have done a Robin Hood on the bulls eye. Has anyone else ever done that? xxx

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

Impressed, did an almost Robin Hood, with two brand new arrows, first time for each arrow, bent one and destroyed the other!
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
Oh yes, great shot. very satisfying even though it costs a few quid. xBeen 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. xBeen a while for me.

It's a specific indoor target archery round. I had to google it to refresh my memory but it's;
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;
I think I used to do warwicks outdoors, up to 100 yards.

Once is bad luck...twice is careless! 
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, xOnce is bad luck...twice is careless!

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 xIt's a specific indoor target archery round. I had to google it to refresh my memory but it's;

my camera was in the van else where but i.ve since done a robin hood shot a third time., i seem to consistently split my own arrows, i just wish my overall form was as good. x
I guess I was yes but would have preferred half a cm either side and keep the arrow. x
I call my bow the Ram-bow. its a repro of the one he uses in the film. Its a 55lb compound bow but I shoot it like a recurve. ignore the arrows that was to order a part. x
use my fingers and not a release trigger, the same as i shoot a recurve bow. thats what rambo does aswel. x
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
