Any Archers in the house?

Archery? If you mean 310fps a compound bow that is barely audible from 10ft away. Carbon fiber arrows, and steel broadheads... yes.

Before you traditionalists get on me for using a compound bow, remember that you're using the internet forum and not a slate chalk board.

PS. They did a mythbusters on the "robin hood" splitting arrow thing... Myth Busted. Apparently you can't even split an arrow if you hold it still and try to run a knife through it. The grains always prevail and force the knife/arrow out before it makes it all the way down.

I was referring to aluminum shaft arrows.

I watched that episode of Mythbusters too.

Is THIS a myth?

P.S. Check out the insane stabilizer on that beast!

WAY COOL! The mythbusters was about whether the splitting an arrow was possible.

My hunting club has a requirement that you can shoot an apple from 30 yards, 16' up in a tree. The idea is that if you can hit an apple, you should be able to place a clean shot on a deer.

That is what I'm talking about! I've got one!! I've busted countless nocks...

Please note, the arrow that is in the target: has no nock, the taper has been cut off and it was larger in diameter than the arrow being shot... It's still a fantastic display of accuracy!
