And also a freaky one - like throwing a coin and it landing on its side. craighead electric recognizes game.What’s crazy is this might not be the weirdest accidental shot I have seen.When you take up Archery, you shake Murphy by the hand. Your sense of what is or is not Probable is opened like a wrecking ball to the Third Eye.I have seen and managed a “robinhood” more than once. I’ve seen it happen like five times. It’s when you split your arrow by hitting the very end of it, dead on, with ANOTHER ARROW. Less than a square centimeter of target there. Just by total freak chance. Nearly impossible to do by trying but it HAPPENS all the time.“One in a million chances crop up nine times out of ten”- Guards! Guards!, Sir Terry Pratchett#take an archery course and a stats course at the same time and you may Ascend into levels unknownIf nothing else, due to losing your last tenuous hold on sanity because stats, and taking your newfound archery knowledge to live in the woods free of any society that has discovered the discipline of Statistics.The wild thing about the robinhooding is that the Mythbusters tried - in at least two separate episodes! - to create the perfect circumstances for a robinhooded arrow. They mechanised it, they got their equipment set up perfectly, they had the perfect arrows… and they just couldn’t do it. Meanwhile, at my first archery competition, I was watching the top level archers while my group was having a break, and i got to see first hand a robinhooded arrow happen. So every time i watch those episodes and watch the Mythbusters conclude that it’s impossible, I’m tearing my hair out because i have literally watched it happen. -- source link
