    I got my second Robbin Hood today. It was kind of disheartening hearing that sound. I knew exactly what happened.

    Then just for the heck of it I did this to see if I could hit it.

    At 20yd and one shot, this is what happened:

    It was a blast but, man is it getting pricey. I've destroyed half a dozen with this new bow already. That's in about one months time.

    Now, I really am not bragging on me as I have tore up some fletchings in the past. I am however bragging on this Centroid!! It sure is a shooter!!

    I called my Pro Shop and told Robert there was something wrong with this bow and he said no way, what is it!? I said " the darn thing keeps ramming arrows into the back of other arrows." he got a kick out of that and took my order for another set. Haha!

    Mighty fine shooting there $$$$ At least you got a hood out of it. I destroyed 2 a couple week ago shooting bull frogs. One drove into a dock 4X4 and I broke it trying to get it out, The other must have hit a hidden rock under water!

    What really sucks is when you just hit a knock and bust the end of the arrow, I did that yesterday. I thought dang if i'm going to ruin an arrow atleast give me a good clean robin hood ! I love my target with multiple dots on it i'm on tight enough budget as it is I can't afford to be ruining arrows when I group a bunch together.

    Go Centroid :rock:

    I've been so busy I haven't even got mine completely sighted in, but there's no doubt it's a shooter.

    I shoot one arrow at a time, because of that. CX Maximas are two costly for that

    I shoot a multiple spot target because of this. And as stated above, my CX 350's cost too much!

    Nice! I shot a robin hood, went and bought 2 new arrows to replace those, came home, and robin hood'd those 2 arrows! That was an expensive day

    I have to agree. That does suck!!

    I'm on a tight budget also. I honestly don't shoot groups inside o 30 any more. I upped the poundage and decided to group tune. Should have known better than that crap with this Centroid!
