In my years of shooting right handed, never a Robin Hood.
When my left shoulder started giving me problems holding my bow, a friend brought over his left handed bow for me to try. Arrow #12 yielded me my first 20 yd RH
Glad I used my own arrows
Go figure

Good shooting though. I don't mean to be so negative.
Me too, I pick different spots on the target but was proud when I got my first one then realized it was expensive to cluster arrows....

Now if someone could explain how i managed to miss the whole deer yesterday??? Mosquitos. That's who we can always blame it on
Sometimes they stick, this was at 25. Back when I shot Easton 2219 it was more common for them to stick!

Myself and everyone I shoot with all shoot micro diameters. To this day we have never had a robin hood after tens of thousands of shots. We have broken many nocks.

I had one robinhood a couple years back when I was shooting with a friend who shoots standard diameter arrows, and I robin hooded his arrow.

Has anyone had robinhoods with the micro diameters?

Get enough shots downrange and a person will likely get one at all ranges out to 100 meters. Usually happens on days when you are shooting not that good, so aren't worried about it. Had one like the one in Lefty's pic at the Mayfield Inn shoot one year. 40 yds, and there were arrows sticking out of one deer, 90deg to me and one with the fletch covering the 10 ring, on the deer I had to shoot at 40, dead centre. Aimed dead centre at that arrow as trajectory shud clear it, smacked it dead centre, my arrow broke and front half bounced off the deer I was shooting at, did hit in the 10 ring though. back half of the arrow had stuck in the other one, at the base of the fletch, 3-60 thru a 2213. Think I still have it somewhere.

Default 20 yds

When out practicing with broadheads a couple of hunting buddies and myself would, from time to time take a shot at the other guys arrows to try and shave off the fletchings. Then one day at the old Sherwood Park range I robin hood and ruin two carbon arrows. Never shot two arrows at the same spot since.
