    That shot is known as a Robin Hood. If it's common enough to have a name....

    why?

    I've seen it done many times, I done it myself (although destroyed arrow as the were same size)

    Used to happen 3 or 4 times a year in archery training in UCD that arrows embedded in the back of others, usually splitting them as they were generally the same size. Only seen the small one into a large one once

    Named after a movie!

    Make believe - reality = 2 different things


    if this was real how come the camera behind the guy doesnt record the guy shooting the arrow and the arrow hitting the board in one shot?

    I don't see why a skilled archer couldn't pull off this shot.

    shinanigans..........mythbusters proved this to be impossible......arrows bend while moving through air, you can see this clearly in the slow-mo, it would not be able to go directly into/split another arrow, it would shatter the first one.

    Without commenting on the authenticity of this video, Mythbusters proved nothing. In any case, the Mythbusters episode used arrows of the same size which were solid. The arrows in this clip are different sizes and at least one is hollow.

    :rolleyes:
    maybe that video is fake, I dunno didn't watch it all but it's a perfectly doable situation to embed one arrow in the back of another.
