You guys were right, about Robin Hooding

Post by Whyitsmike »

Hello Again Everyone,

It's me Mike out here in California, and the day before yesterday I was shooting my Vixen at an indoor range at 18 meters. The first set of 5 shots tightly grouped, but then during the second round I became a member of the Robin Hood club, my first bolt went in then I shot #2 and I heard this strange sound, kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard, so I went to the target and low and behold, my second shot pierced right through my first bolt, the rear of my first carbon bolt was fanned out like a Badmitton Birdie. Needless to say I was shocked, I heard you guys all say it but did not really think it was possible for me. I do not have a digital camera but I did take a few pics with a disposable one I bought after shooting that day, and the two bolts are currently hanging on my bedroom wall. So if anyone ever asks me about how accurate I think Excalibur crossbows are I can actually show them


Now I will practice with a few different targets mounted on the wall at the range, instead of just one. Because this Robin Hood thing could get costly, however one time is sure thrilling.

Mike

Hello,

Mike, I had this same experience yesterday also! I was shooting outdoors from 77 yards, and I heard a sort of metallic sound. When I went to the target, there were two arrows on the gold area of the target. The another one went through the first one. :D

The flat nock makes Robin Hooding easier than if you had a moon nock, but the accuracy is impressive.

I think Mark has seen the robinhood I have hanging on our shop wall from the Ohio State Indoor a few years back. Dead X at 25 meter followed by another one
