Never done this before, but apparently a 5/16 shaft is no match for a broadhead. Unfortunately the arrow was part of a new kids set; it was only ever shot twice. :(
-
Oh, bummer. It's funny how non-archers seem to view the "Robin Hood" shot as the ultimate accomplishment, but most of us cringe at the thought of destroying an arrow. ha ha

Unfortunately this was not even a Robin Hood. The small arrow was not in the center, and the broadhead was aimed at nothing in particular. Also, a Robin Hood is hit in the knock, mine was a lot sloppier. :-\

AHA! A chance to test your skill at arrow making before the demise is discovered, or rectify the OOPS! Several years ago, I managed to take out 3 red osier shafts with 1 arrow - rather upset me! Especially since I had them ready to fletch and finish!

:o :o
I'd like to see how that happened. I use plastic knocks so that if I hit the knock I can just replace it, the shaft is generally fine. That actually just happened the other day. This was not so neat.

Unfortunately the pics went to cyberspace when my old phone bit the dust! No pics, it didn't happen! Must have been a figment of my imagination! Basically, I shot too many bare shafts without clearing the target and the last arrow was wonky and went into the target wagging! Bye, Bye shafts!

What do you have holding the broadhead on the shaft? From here it looks like a piece of 3/8 copper tubing.
-
Copper wire, close.

Copper wire, very nice! You wrap it real tight around the tang of the broadhead? Then what do you do with the ends of the wire?
