I have a few of them. I thought it was cool at the begining but then when I figure in now I'm shooting $12 arrow's $3 weighted knocks and $1 per tip. It gets pretty dang costly if you keep up with doing that. I was shooting Beman's and would do them pretty common I think I had 8 last year. But I went to Easten's ST which are a skinnier arrow and I have only don't it to one since I have changed. How far are you shooting? I shoot a lot in my basement which I screw up a lot of my arrows but I have only done one at 20 yds. The guys at Scheels told me to try a more blunt end for my field points. They said instead of a point a round that would help deflect it a little bit. Don't know if that's true or not but might be something to try.

I have done it a couple of times cool the first time. I only shoot four arrows max at the same target I hate it when I wrecked flights or arrows. But on another note lat week al the state dart tourny I seen a guy robin hood his dart thought that was kinda cool

I have done it a few times and have had a few close calls. I now don't shoot at the same bullseye at anything under 30 yards. The modern bow and equipment are so amazingly accurate. I have my first one hanging on a pair of antlers. Pretty cool conversation piece...

Not very common, but if you're a good shooter and you continue to shoot groups then it will happen more often. If not a Robin Hood you will certainly continue to break nocks, tear fletchings and ding the arrows. Either wayit gets expensive. That's why the pro's shoot 5-spots.

Its cool to do once or twice, but if your shooting arrows at over 10 bucks a piece it doesnt seem as cool anymore. I bought a dozen brand new arrows last year and the first time shooting them at the place i bought them i did it twice. I got to shoot each arrow maybe once or twice so i dont think it was worth the 40 bucks i paid for those 4 arrows. After that i stopped shooting at the same bullseye under 40 yards away.

I've shot my whole life (I'm over 50) and just got my first a few years ago. I've probably shot hundreds of thousands of arrows in this time. Done it only a couple times since, so no, it's not all that common.

There is a reason why the block or similar targets have 5 targets on them. if one is shooting so many robinhoods, then maybe shoot at a different bullseye each time. unless ya got the money to burn. then in that case, i'll take a dozen easton axis, infused carbons, with blazers!

It happens, seems kinda a cool the first time, but like someone said thats why theres usually more than one Bulls Eye per target. It does show you're being consistant in form or making the same break in form. Were they both Bulls or both off to the same degree. I rarely have Robin Hoods happen since shooting at 5 bulls and rarely with more than 4-5 arrows. Plus, unless I need to adjust my sights or account for another change to my bow (like restringing), I always shoot broadheads. Field points and broadheads rarely fly the same (partly why some like expandables.) So I only practice with the same gear I use to hunt. Loosing arrows w/heads is bad enough, ruining them is worse.

That all said, nice job on your consistancy and form. Keep practicing. Shot placement is the result but its form you are practicing.

Also, once you build the strength to hold at draw as needed and still make the shot, then only shoot a few arrows each day to keep form. The more you shoot the more things change (ie string stretch) and the more you need to adjust. So, once you get it all working just shoot enough to keep consistent and confident.

...I'm sure Lee Lane has something interesting to add.

Did my first RH at the age of 14 and I actually "called the shot". One arrow was mine and one was the other guys.

I did it one more time but was borrowing my dads arrows. So out of 2 RH's, only one was my arrow.

Like others have said it gets expensive (when you do it to your own arrows) so I don't think I've shot at anything but a 5 spot target for the last 20 years. Good thing I haven't had another RH since, wouldn't be much to brag about on a 5 spot.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
