I’ve mentioned buying a new bow recently. It has some features that enable me to shoot more accurately than I have in years. Here’s the problem. When your arrows are that close together (a result of accuracy), one arrow will damage another. For instance, it can catch a vane & make it come loose or fall off. Or it can chip the nock-that’s the little forked end that clips onto the bowstring. Nocks can be replaced, but it’s a nuisance. The worst case is one arrow being shot right into the hind end of another, splitting it. We call that a Robin Hood. It’s cool to do, once or twice, for the bragging rights, but will ruin one or both arrows. Yes, I have done it a couple of times. To avoid this, I will need to switch to 5-spot targets like this; Each arrow goes into a different spot, so they can’t damage each other. But these targets take some getting used to. So my accuracy will be reduced, until I do. That’s OK; it’s part of the sport.
Great to see your accuracy is top nock! *notch I once had a semi Robin Hood. Arrow hit the nock and slipped off. Nock was ruined, but that was all. Would that count as a Robin Cap?
