Did it twice with my wooden beginners bow and Easton Jazz arrows at about a distance of about 15 yds during the first 6 months of shooting.

The novelity wore off after the second time.

Haven't done it since. Too expensive now with ACEs.

as an addition to my original RH question,...... what did you do with the arrows involved with the RH.?? ...I was so chuffed, with mine I let them be partners for good, hung on my computer room wall, great talking point lol, mine was so accurate, that one arrow is actually straight down with no devialtion at all, and it went about an inch and a half past the fletchings.
Thing is I aint that accurate normaly, oh well, its cheaper on arrows I guess

Kept the first one with the intent of mounting it on some wood and hanging it on the wall. I still need to find a piece of wood. It's been 5 years since it happened!

Managed to salvage one arrow from the second time.

I've come close three times this year (indoors) - cleanly split the nocks in half on my X7s and managed to chamfer the inserts so they wont accept another, but none have gone further down the shaft. Not sure if I'm happy about that or not.....

I have kept mine, the second arrow is about 6 inches inside the first with the carbon split and the aluminium core starting to curl.

Trying to think of some way to display it

excellent picci Alex, trouble is it looks expensive to me, another carbon down the pan lol, one thing no-one's spoken about yet is the noise it makes when you RH, all I remember is a sound like a muted gun shot, as the alli exploded lol

The only sound I remember was the others archers saying (almost in unison) "That'll be expensive!"

I have a wasted Fatboy in the workshop. Point pushed into flaired carbon tube as a result of robin hooding a tripple xxx. I can either mount it on a wooden plaque, cut it shorter and sell it on ebay or...

To right it was expensive, I had to buy a dozen Navigators as I was down to 6 arrows after the RH.

I think it was not as noisey as a normal hit, a guy I was shooting with new it was a RH before I did ( he was on a diffent target at the time)

I've never managed one, thankfully. I've hit nocks many times, and opened the uni-bushing at the back of an ally three times that I can remember. I shoot X10's outside (and so am unlikely to do one of those) and X7's indoors... I hope I never do indoors though, since they don't make the Cosmic Eclipse any more.
For some reason, Jazz's seem to RH very easily. I've seen one guy do in three in one evening at 20y.
