Okay, Maybe I'm more in the "Friar Tuck" Club for this. And I'm sure it would have split the arrow in twain had it not sagged in the bag I shot it into. Anyone have any real Robin Hood shots to show? When do I learn the secret handshake? :)

i know someone whos gotten many robin hoods
some with trad gear,some with whelie bows
i'll bet hes shot a dozen atleast
he used to hang them for display
but hes done so many,they just started getting thrown in the closet
-
good shot! that bow is hot by the way. and im usually happy i can hit the same target. nevermind the same spot!
-
nice shot. Diggin that bow too. :) I think after the first couple of Robin Hood shots, it would get old... Just more broken arrows... then again I've never done it either. :-\

and im usually happy i can hit the same target. nevermind the same spot!
Hell... I'd be happy just to hit a target ONCE!! hehehe
Great shot, man! If I recall correctly, the handshake involves rolling up the right trouser leg, baring the left nipple and bend over, backs to each other, gripping hands between your legs as you hop in an anit-clockwise circle.
All that's if greeting in the AM hours of the clock... don't even get me started on the PM handshake!! :o
-
that bow is quite nice i like it alot
-
This was a reenactment of the actual event. No one was injured during this reenactment! ;D

I appreciate your compliments of the bow, but that is more a testiment to my woodworking skills than my bowyering. it was my second bow and has some flaws that I learned a lot from (the shelf was too low and the fades dont' have enough bend). it looks good, though. I know how to scrape, sand and finish ;D
HatchA, I'm gonna have to help my wife make the same shot so she can do that handshake!

the first time they visited taht myth, I kept on wondering why they didn't bring in someone like Byron Ferguson to do that. I was glad they did bring in a real archer when they revisited it. As for grant being fat....I got a leg that weighs more than him :)

I've several of them. I'll get a photo of the latest one. I don't like them anymore. They cost work and money and make me sad :'(.
-
That's what I am talking about.....way too much time and money to enjoy anymore.... ;D
-
Here's the one from a few days ago. At 13 yards, 73# selfbow. I'm glad this is in the Campfire Forum cause it's obviously not a primitive arrow. This one was only $7, but now I only have four arrows left :'(.

Mine are Carbon too....but CXL 300'S are very expensive Target Shafts....$180 for bare shafts....I believe they were....
-
Yowzee! Were you into competetive shooting with your compound then?
-
yeah...I shot the Tri-State Area here...Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico...for years...got totally bored with it...too easy when you have all that crap to stabilize...and sight through...Still have it all...but I have not Shot a 5-Spot Tourney...or a 3-D for that matter with a Compound in 5 years
-
I hate breaking arrows.
-
The reason I don't like shooting groups is because of arrow damage plus it isn't important how many arrows you can put in a 4" circle but if you can put one arrow where it needs to go. ;)
-
I hear ya Pat, the wife and I have been stump shooting and I do much better than when I just go out and fling arra's at the target :)
-
I find having other arrows in the target detract from my concentration for where the arrow should go. I do better picking a spot, either visual or imaginative and concentration on that one spot.
-
I'm getting into shooting NFAA target faces, to try and compare with modern trad archers. Of course, my current bow whoops my but so bad the only score I have is 143 out of 300. Hopefully a nicer bow can give me a better score. Part of my goal of being the best I can with a wooden bow in as many ways as possible. So group shooting isn't all bad ;)
-
Look's like I joined the club today. It's the first time I have split one. I've knocked a lot of nocks off, but never hit one dead center.
I was shooting that Kodiak replica, I just got from Dave55 today. I stripped the fletching off of one arrow and then broke this one. I quit shooting groups after that.
