Oh no, that sucks! When this one hit I knew something happed by the sound, but i was hoping it’s only a fletch or nock.

It's pretty cool how we can tell when something's different since we're so used to the sound of it hitting the target. I'm going to trust my ears next time. Hehe. There's a bright side to my story though. I was shooting factory length arrows because I didn't want to drive 2 hours round trip to the bow shop. In an effort to save the arrows I decided to make the trip, and he was able to save them by cutting them the proper length! Of course the inserts for those fancy arrows are almost as much as the arrows themselves, but whatever. Now I have better length arrows which are wicked fast. I had to sight in again after getting them cut, but the lesson was learned, and I always check my sight before shooting every single time now.

I've never got a Robinhood before. I try not to, but I still think it would be cool to do.

At first you are like wow! But then you are like oh no! My arrow!!

Haha! Yeah that's about how I figured it would go. Maybe I should try some time with some cheap wooden target arrows. I have a recurve in the garage, I can shoot wooden arrows with that.
