Robin Hood

A Robin Hood in archery refers to a shot where an arrow hits an already embedded arrow—often splitting it or striking near the nock. The term comes from the legend of Robin Hood, who was said to have split one arrow with another.

What happens:

  • The trailing arrow hits the leading arrow precisely
  • Often destroys the nock
  • The shaft can split

Significance:

  • Expensive for your equipment 😄
  • Sign of extremely tight grouping
