How MANY ARROWS To A ROBINHOOD?

[@jryhuling]

My favorite Robin Hood, I traveled out of state to join my cousin on a rifle Elk hunt. Brought my bow just to shoot for fun. I had won a 3D competition not long before. My two uncles were heckling me when I took my first shots at 20 yards. I pushed the target back to 40 and Robin Hooded on my third arrow. They stopped heckling.

You bring back many memories Chris . I’m 86 and don’t wish to relate my accomplishments in our beloved sport. I have shot with Howard Hill a long time ago along with Ann Weber Hoyt .My email begins with 14robinhoods..It has always been this even though I retired from archery competition in the early seventies with 17 Robinhoods . Most were instinctive. My thoughts on what you were trying to achieve was admirable but this rare feat is accomplished usually when you least expect it . I have done it at the practice butt and in competition and always when you least expect it …One thing for certain it is done by the elite fraternity..Welcome to my world even though we are decades apart . Carry on the great work Chris. We’ll shoot together someplace in the next world .I have harvested over 💯 whitetails with my bows

I did this back to back. The first one I said "oh cool" the 2nd one I said "well there goes an easy 40 bucks"

[@scottymoore9121]

Good job on the Robin Hood. But bad for the wallet. Those arrows ain’t cheap. Kills me when I mess one up or lose it.

[@AussieArcher1234]

Pin Nocks.. after 4 robin hoods in a week and 2 splits = $80

[@YoutubesFromWayback]

You know the statistical odds of doing that? Back to back robin hoods...kinda sus.

[@mattyice9923]

@@KZbinsFromWaybackthat and add the distance. If it’s like 30yds plus…idk how realistic that is. I mean maybe at 10yds I can see that happening

[@TailgateTech]

I just got my first compound bow on Monday, just been practicing in the basement at 20ft. I was grouping really well, mostly shafts touching. The next day, 2nd shot got a robinhood. I was pretty excited. Saving that pair for the wall

[@kadenpittman1492]

"This is making me frustrated folks"... Yep, that's me when I'm trying to end the night with a good group and always end up with a flier :) Glad I'm not the only one who gets frustrated.

[@allbotellooutdoors6502]

I’ve Robinhood twice! Here recently with my Mathews V3 31.. and one with a Hoyt maxixis . Both at 30 yards .. but I wasn’t pulling back 70 lbs lol. Awesome video!!!

[@willshunting]

I first took up bow hunting in 2016. My first bow was a Prime Rize 70#. Had many smashed nocks during practice sessions but only one true RH. Then changed to a Prime Centergy 70#. Had to stop trying to group on one bulls eye due to RH's costing too much in destroyed arrows. In all cases I was using CX Piledriver Hunter 350s and the RH's were impossible to separate without gradually levering apart the first arrow into carbon slivers. These are positively evil/wicked to handle; even wearing ultra heavy duty gloves. The frictional force between the inside of the first arrow and the exterior of the second generated a smell similar to an electrical circuit burning out. I now always practice with one arrow per point of aim to avoid the expensive novelty of RH's. I am a very average archer and attribute the great repeatability of p.o.i. to the Centergy's zero integral torque at full draw.

[@Allegiance_Outdoors]

I’ve done it a few times. The first I was like cool. Then I was like, wait, that’s expensive! Lol

[@ThatJamesGuy88]

For the first 10 minutes I was telling my phone-“Put an offset aiming point!” Crazy how hard it is to put 2 arrows in the same hole. Good job. 👍

[@arnyt2002]

Done it twice. Once when beginner and I had just bought my new set of indoor recurve arrows and tuning them. Then again when switched to compound and bought a new set of X23s for indoor and was tuning them. Guessed that a Robin Hood indicated they were tuned 😂 Don't like tuning, it costs too much.

[@rvn8099]

I'm having problems right now that stresses me out. What a great upload timing to help me cheer up and forget. Thanks Chris!

[@robwalters9695]

Bryon Ferguson made Myth Busters have to revoke their findings that a Robin Hood wasn’t possible because he did it on command for them. He’s a long bow shooter though

[@bloodlinesarchery]

“Imagine just like first shot” 😂 need at least 2 arrows for a Robin Hood

[@jakem6670]

Wow you are smart

[@wesleypipes9251]

I’ve done it. I’m not even that good

[@Engrave.Danger]

Robinhood didn't split his own arrow. He split his competitor's... the sheriff's arrow. A true "Robin Hood" would be splitting the dead center bullseye arrow of his competitor, which by the true definition could technically be done on his first shot. 😉

[@thesouthernlife4061]

Oooffhhh

[@agerbaek01]

After 7years away from archery I started a couple of weeks ago. First day at the range 20m and the 7th and 8th shot where a perfect robinhood. My trainer dropped his jaw, and so did I. Havent done it since. Awesome videos you make. Like to follow you. stay safe :)

[@classixdrummer]

I have done this a few times in my indoor range and I am brand new to this sport. I no longer aim at the same spot with any follow up arrows as it is expensive.

[@xshadowolf2]

Got my first 'robinhood' just last weekend from 20 yd. I use pin nocks on my VAPs to try to deflect any would-be robinhoods, but I must've hit this one dead square in the back because it obliterated the pin and shoved it inside of the arrow and split the carbon down past the fletching. The pin did however push the other arrow out the side of the carbon, which then still stuck in the target. I still can't believe how much damage the pin took, but at least it saved the second arrow I guess. I think with pin nocks, that's about the most 'robinhood' I can ask for

[@scottmeese5699]

I did it once with two Blue Streak Select Arrows (30 yards). Was afraid to breath till I ran up to the house and got my camera to take some pics. Pulled them out and they was nothing to worry about. Still stuck together hanging over the door in my office.

[@josephd7616]

Great shooting Very accurate. At my last compound outing at 30m I robinhooded a carbon arrow. It is now a wall piece 😁👍. Have done it with my barebow too, in the past !!!

[@matthewsolocam1751]

That's arrow edit and shot edit was the most satisfying thing I've seen in a while!!

[@maverickmace9100]

I bought my first bow 3 weeks ago and just got my first Robbin Hood today. It was a few moments of celebration, followed by thinking of the cost bringing me back down. They were my Zombie Slayers too.

[@jadem4893]

Have had about 7 robin hoods in the 4 months with my Hoyt Ventum Pro. Its not so hard to achieve. Shooting separate spots helps the wallet a lot! 😆

[@kinzybrown]

The fact that I’ve done this so many times at 20 and 50 yards SIGHTING IN, practicing and at a tournament is crazy 😂

[@rwarner07]

Awesome… I started shooting in 4-H many many years ago wanted to be like you with shooting professionally and shooting all over the USA…. Well life happened and that didn’t happen, but I hope to learn more from your videos so keep them coming… (funny thing, I tried to Robin Hood arrows back in the day with my Bear compound polar LTD and 34’ aluminum arrows… it never happened…. Broke a lot of knocks…. Great stuff….

[@mishellgagnon5771]

What a WORKOUT! You're in a great shape, that's for sure. Entertaining video. Congrats!

[@nitrojunkie22]

In 2002 when I bought my first Mathews (Legacy), I busted a nock and pushed the remainder of it down the shaft with my first two shots, immediately screwing up 2 arrows. I am always zipping a vane off at least once a session, but ever since I started fletching my own, it's not that big a deal anymore.

[@jamiecarter9357]

I've Robin Hooded darts several times, but arrows, never. Damaged a lot of arrows, but no Robin Hoods. A friend and I shot over 60 aluminum arrows into a target when we were in high school (mid 80's) several times without removing any arrows and still never got one. A local shooter had two Robin Hoods hanging on his wall at his shop so we thought we'd try and get one, even if we had to cheat. I actually saw one real Robin Hood at a 4th of July event in East Machias around the same time where two shooters were in a shoot off for winner. After three rounds of back and forth bullseyes, a guy named Chris Sprague "Robin Hooded" his competitors arrow. That's a real one in my eyes. He was awarded the win. If only there were cell phones in 85.

[@MikeyWoomer]

I've been shooting for a long time and I've only ever had 2 solid Robin hoods. I've broken lots of nocks and shot through my vanes many times. I got both my Robin hoods using the ezv sight too. I love that stupid sight but I don't use it ad much as I use too

[@FlakySnake]

I'm only a few months into archery and I managed to get a Robin Hood while practicing. Had my 2nd arrow go down the carbon tube of the 1st and get stuck, it's a piece of art now. But I will never shoot my expensive arrows at the same spot again while practicing 😅

[@jp3andsome]

I bought a PSE Ramped from Gander Mountain when they were doing 50% off. Great deal at the time. I set up a target at 10 yards, shot 2 arrows to make a sight adjustment and somehow got it dead on for arrow 3 and 4. Set up at 20 yards and got one on my second volley of 6. First and only one. I hung the arrows in my office.

[@jugmopo6780]

I got my girlfriend the same bow, seems like a solid one considering the price

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Chris thanks for being real about robin hooding. If you follow anyone on social media, it seems like a "normal" thing to get Robin hoods. Ive been really bummed that i dont have one after 3 years of shooting. Now i dont feel so bad.

[@mattswartzentruber9661]

Done Robin Hoods at 20 and 30 yards practicing with my Mathews Creed XS. Had to keep the 30 yard set because it was perfect straight down the middle. It rests in my archery buck antlers now 😂

[@timparrish1847]

if you get them stuck and there sticking out the back , take a tip out of another arrow and push the insert against the tip of the stuck arrow . You can push it out and usually pull it out with out a problem . How many robinhood's do you have ?

I have a Robin Hood - Second time shooting bow, first time in backyard at 15yrd with 7 arrows in. Blew my mind, took all sort of pics. Have it on the mantle and want to create a 3D frame for it.

[@Lethal_but_barely]

I’ve only ever robin hooded once and it happened to be a double robinhood at 30 yds. New bow and the first shot was way off 2nd shot was where I aimed 3rd shot robinhooded the 2nd arrow and the 4th arrow robinhooded the 3rd arrow. Made for a very cool moment with 3 arrows stuck together.

[@SouthMississippiSalt]

My first and only Robin was at 60 yards.... That being said, I don't shoot groups because I hate destroying $20 arrows so no , I wasn't trying, it was accidental I guess. But I figured at 60 yards I wanted to see how close I could get them .... was a cool feeling but sickening at the same time .... the arrows are now displayed on a set of antlers in my man room....... Awsome video

[@naterpie]

I found this video bc I was wondering how rare it is. I just started shooting. My neighbor gave me his old Matthew's bow to get started. Today I was out shooting at the range with my wife and kids and at 35 yards I got a perfect Robin Hood. I feel a bit guilty and super lucky since it's only like my 5th time shooting. Needless to say, now I'm completely hooked. I also bought a lotto ticket tonight 😂

[@Corewood_TJP]

Fun video. :-) But yes, I think it is very difficult to make a true Robin Hood shot, intentionally and without cheating. I have been into archery for appr. 35 years and I have only shot 2 robin hood arrows. The first, was when I was young, shooting indoor, at 18 m, with recurve bow and ACC arrows (still have it, but it is detorating, from lying in a window for a long time). The 2nd was not so many years ago, appr. 4 years ago maybe. That was with compound bow at 30 m and with my brand new carbon 3D arrows (Bowfire). And on the first night shooting them, I made a robin hood at 30 m distance. As far as I remember, I think I also did a maid Marian shot, shooting one of my coaches arrows and I have seen both Robin Hood and maid Marian shots happen for example at 3D shoots.

[@jbw5485]

Got my first Robin Hood yesterday at 30yards. Pretty excited about it. 😂🤣 gonna leave the two arrows stuck together.

[@fisheatrepeat]

I did one of these on my first ever archery practice with my bow 🤣 the Local archery store that sold me the bow then told me to save that arrow as a keepsake haha may take me a while to do it again!

[@TRAT0R]

So I doubt you read all of these but I was super curious about the release you have. Is that "the hinge" and how do you think it compares to "the goat" I'm im need of a new release after my last hunting trip my hinge (Scott longhorn hunter) had a severed band that caused it not to reset after each shot.

[@craigbooth103]

Yo Chris any recommendations on a good bow for long draws like 31.5”- 32” draw length that are not to expensive brought my first bow and wasted all my money on some Chinese topoint bow that’s draw lengths way to small for me😢

[@johningersoll3931]

If you are specifically looking for a Mathews, I would pick up a used Halon 7, Halon 32-7 or Traverse from EBAY. The Halon 7 draws to 32", and the other two draw to 32.5", and are all over the place online. That would save you some bread on a really nice bow. I have a Traverse and a VXR 31.5 and love both of them, but I would not hesitate to pull the trigger on a well priced Halon just to have one. If you decide that you want to drop serious coin on a new one, the Atlas is a long draw beast.

[@johningersoll3931]

Well I have actually done it; stuck one arrow into the shaft of another arrow, making one really long arrow. I was shooting at 70 yards, but I shoot a 2012 Hoyt Vector 32.

[@danebast9269]

Do you use a back tension for hunting?

[@DownLow0099]

I think Robin Hoods should have to be a called shot. Eventually, mathematically it's only a matter of time before you hit one of your arrows by complete fluke. I did one but only at 10 yards. I placed the first arrow which also had no nock in it. Called it and hit it first try. Second arrow went about 1/3rd of the way into the shaft of the first arrow. It looked really cool how the carbon broke apart.

[@aaronvanmeter7211]

So you said imagine getting a Robin Hood when you’re not even trying to, my dad was sighting his bow in and we were shooting at 20 yards he shot about 11 o clock and on the second arrow Robinhooded it.

I’ve robinhooded so many arrows due to fine tuning with length,bare shaft paper tuning even shooting style gripping loosely bend wrist bend elbow consider everything and indoor under perfect conditions at a 3D ibo shoot I once could not find my arrow a acc Easton carbon composite arrow it wound up inside a competitors aluminum arrow fletching striped off after the tournament I remember the other competitors ordering 6 dozen shafts key is to stick to the same arrows for every shot hunting and training grow the sport nowadays I don’t want to destroy the arrows I built so I only train with a Vegas target. Nice try it’ll come when you don’t expect it try working on your breathing technique you do have good form .

Just found this video. I picked up my first bow last week. I haven't shot since I was a kid almost 30 years ago. About 30 arrows in, I Robin Hood an arrow. I think I was between 25 and 30 yards from the target.

[@josephpapale7087]

Don't shoot a cracked nock because its possible the string will go threw broken nock, then will snap your bow string, it's the carbon arrow that really breaks the string. Not to mention having to reset the bow up. I feel that if your breaking or cracking nocks you got the split. In reality the arrow your trying to split, the sorrow should be made of wood not carbon.

Yes. He took the two arrows home to display, and bought 2 more new arrows to replace the two destroyed by Robin.
