Was out shooting a bit tonight fine tuning sights for this weekends hunt and on the last arrow that dreaded sound................:jaw:





.....another robinhood! This bow is so accurate it is unbelievable. I have owned ALOT of bows over the years but I think I am gonna stay with my Elites now. These bows are just flat out shooters!

Thanks Pete and everyone else at Elite for making a stellar product.

I know what you mean.........I've been trying to avoid another RH but if you group them they will come! What arrows were you shooting?

That's why I'm a bad shot. I'm too Scottish to try and be that accurate!!!

Remmy,

I am shooting Easton Flatline Surgicals. Only shooting 3 arrow groups to try to avoid it but it happened. Bad part was since I have done it a few times I figured save the other arrow. So I pulled them apart and wouldn't ya know it the second arrow has a very deep scar in it. Not going to chance it even at $15 a piece.:mad0215:

No....put them back together and post them on the wall. Don't chance it! Congrats to the RH tho if that is some solace!

I hear ya. I shoot FOB's with my GT500 and can't ever shoot groups because I bust them up. I love the bow.

Thats one of the reasons I ordered a bunch of the Vegas 3 and the 5 spot targets. That will stop the groups for a while.

It's just more fun sometime to shoot groups. Elites and practice will ruin some arrows.:)

This is very true! Nice to see a really tight group in the target every now and then.

No one said Archery was an inexpensvie sport. I guess it comes with shooting the best bows on the market.

Yep...what does it cost to be an avid fisherman, golfer, gun enthuisist, ride a mudercycle, and most any sport now-a-days? All are pocket clearing fun and shooting a bow, to me, is a very heady sport. Gives you alot of highs!
