Robin Hood

[drthornton]

Yesterday evening I was doing my final practicing before I leave for my New Mexico Pronghorn Hunt. My final shot at the 50 yards(current regimen is to shoot 3 arrows at 30, 40, 50 and 60) sounded really strange. I actually thought I skimmed the top of the target and lost the arrow to the chigger infested Johnson Grass behind my bow range.
As I got closer I realized I had "Robin Hooded" my previous shot. My first real robin hood. Even though I had just ruined about a $10 arrow I was still excited.

Now I know a robin hood has a lot due to luck, like a hole in 1 in golf, but I am choosing to take this as a good Omen for my hunt. I decided to stop my practicing and call it good. Leave for New Mexico tonight.

Well I hope your hunt goes as good as your practice! Good Luck!

Nice one. That could get expensive if done on a regular basis.

Good luck in New Mexico.

Hey, congrats - I have mine hanging over the fire place - now if I could only get that hole in one.

Looks like you're ready. Those camper shells sure come in handy for hunt gear haulin',.

Best of luck on the hunt. Hope your arrow in NM flies as true as those 2 did.

Only thing I can see wrong in the picture of your truck is that your garage is waaaaay too clean. PM me your address and I will send you some free crap and pay the shipping

My wife doesn't even have pink wraps on her arrows.

Made it to New Mexico...still an hour or so til sunup. Gas up, Ice Up and Coffee Up then off to scout a big ole goat. Got a good shower around here last night....We'll see how fast it drys up and a small chance in the forecast for next couple days. Could put waterholes on the back burner.
