Atta Boy! Consistancy is key! Now... don't do it again. Arrows are expensive these days! ;-)

I'll bet the arrow(s) have a place of honor in some room in the house where he spends a lot of his time. LOL

Good job to the youngster.
I had that happen once or twice. Now i aim at different spots or targets. Gets expensive after afew of those, but the braggin rights are nice too.

The first time is cool, the second is "oh, ok", and the third time is "Damn, ruined another one!"
Enjoy the first one.

Congrats young man!
I've never had a Robin Hood in 40 years of archery. I always aim right next to my last arrow. ;-)

Very cool. Now, flip that target around and shoot just one arrow at each of the 5 spots. ;-)

We have a bit to get him to a great 5 spot. He shoots 3-4 arrows really tight and always has one a little off. I have a feeling in a month we will be on the 5 spot with just a little work.

Gooooooooood shoooooooooting. For all the years shooting a compound bow and never a RH, I did it with my recurve a few years back.

Great job.
I got my first RH when I was a poor college kid and had to pull it apart to have a full quiver of arrows for my first ever bowhunt.

Awesome job on the robin hood! Definitely need a special spot on the wall for it. Right next to all the future trophies! Anymore, I prefer to robin hood the other guys arrow when were shooting 3D. Don't want it hit "keep it out of the 10" ;-)

Shot a great mule deer on a guided hunt. We were admiring this buck after the kill. The outfitter stood up & put his arms out looked all around and said sarcastically “I suppose to a guy like you this is a really big deal but to me it’s just another day in the office”. When my daughter shot her first Robin Hood she remembered that story & used that line on me with a picture and a text. Congrats on the Robin Hood and I hope this addiction continues to give as much as it’s given to me!!!

50 plus years never had one. Pretty cool when it happens. Enjoyed the moment.

My best one was on target #1 of a big 3D shoot. I was in a mixed group. A notorious blowhard stepped up and centered the 12 ring with his tricked-out compound. He turned around and sneered "Whaddya think of that!"
I shot next with my longbow and center punched his arrow. Everybody else in the group started laughing and one guys said to him, "Whaddya think of THAT?!"
He was pissed because I ruined his arrow. That's one RH I displayed as a trophy.

Once I was shopping for a new bow at a pro shop. Test fired a new Bowtech. My second shot Robin hooded the first. I told the salesman I’d take it ;-)
