HE SPLIT ROBINS ARROW IN TWAIN!
Bah gawd!
Oh man I can feel that spittle fly
Like a hole in one, but where you lose two balls when sinking the shot.
Looks like you already had multiple targets to cut down the arrow density per volley. Would it be too much in material to stand additional target bosses left and right? They could also be held at the same elevation to alleviate recalibrating drop angles between shots.
I lost two balls the last time I did archery, too. It happens.
At least you are getting consistent
That is the bright side. 🥳
You can get nock pins which help reduce the likelihood of this happening. Check them out.
Thanks, I will!
But then you don’t get a cool story to tell online.
True, but at least it is some content for this group that it’s way too quiet. I hate reddit but I have to keep going there for the archery group.
Yup, all the niche subs are pretty dead here. Thanks for sharing content! I’ll try to remember to share some too.
Oh, I just got a new Tightspot quiver. I can share that if I ever figure out how to mount it to my bow without interfering with the wheel on my sight. I’m sure other people would appreciate that, since this site is hella difficult to find a compatible quiver for, even with spacers.
Please do!
What are you doing step arrow
😂😂
I once bought brand new carbon fiber micro arrows (spendy). I had to resight my bow because of the difference in arrow weight and properties. I got it perfectly sighted at 20, then went and sighted it at 40 and set my single pin tape up appropriately. Then I put the bow away. The next time I shot, I noticed that my arrows sounded like they were hitting the bag a lot harder than usual, but I just kept shooting, not really thinking too hard about it. Then I went to go get my arrows and none of them were in the target bag. They sounded louder because they were all hitting the tree 20 yards behind the bag, because I forgot to set the sight back to 20 yards at the end of my last session, and didn’t check when I started shooting. 4 of the arrows embedded so deeply that I had to break them to get them out. 4 brand new carbon fiber arrows…
Anyways, congratulations on your Robinhood.
Oh no, that sucks! When this one hit I knew something happed by the sound, but i was hoping it’s only a fletch or nock.
It’s pretty cool how we can tell when something’s different since we’re so used to the sound of it hitting the target. I’m going to trust my ears next time. Hehe. There’s a bright side to my story though. I was shooting factory length arrows because I didn’t want to drive 2 hours round trip to the bow shop. In an effort to save the arrows I decided to make the trip, and he was able to save them by cutting them the proper length! Of course the inserts for those fancy arrows are almost as much as the arrows themselves, but whatever. Now I have better length arrows which are wicked fast. I had to sight in again after getting them cut, but the lesson was learned, and I always check my sight before shooting every single time now.
I’ve never got a Robinhood before. I try not to, but I still think it would be cool to do.
At first you are like wow! But then you are like oh no! My arrow!!
Haha! Yeah that’s about how I figured it would go. Maybe I should try some time with some cheap wooden target arrows. I have a recurve in the garage, I can shoot wooden arrows with that.
