Nice. Closest I have come is bent nocks and torn fletching.
That was close enough for me
Now at 20 yards and closer I use those three different points of aim.

Nice!
I have a couple at 20 and one at 30. It gets a bit pricey! I'm like Chris that I usually shoot at a 3 face at 20 yards, but there is a certain satisfaction from shooting nice little groups.

Congrats. I don't frequent the lanes so when you talk about pricey, are you talking about the price of replacing arrows or when you get a robin hood do you have to buy the club a round?

I am talking about replacing the arrows, I am Scottish so I run very fast if anyone mentions buying a round

Nice...only the first couple are fun after that you realize its cheaper to shoot different targets even just the inconvienece of ripping off fletches.
I did almost shoot a robin hood last summer in 3d except Lefty Canuck had darn pin nocks...it was his fault for putting it in the 12 first though.
