Ever Had a Robin Hood Moment

I recently bought a new bow and have been practicing. My groups keep getting tighter. Back in the day I used to get sick and tired of shaving off fletchings but this was a first for me.
Sorry about the poor pic quality. My second digital camera in two years crapped out on me. I used the daughter hand me down camera.
Do any of you have any pics of robin hooding an arrow?
PS What do you think of the oil painting. I thought I'd give oil painting a mule deer a try a few years back and the painting is what I came up with.

The robin hood thing. Yes Ive done it on numerous occasions but two stand out in my mind.
The first one that stands out is one where I took some old PSE arrows and went down to the range and deliberately wanted to robin hood them or ruin them in the process. Then post the photo of 12 arrows jammed in the 10 ring. Well to my surprise the first arrow hit dead center in the x and the next one well "robin hood." I had a few people watching me and new my intentions. They couldn't believe what I just did. So I wanted to try and put the third one down the back of the first two but it glanced out. Yes it was only at 20 yards! I however put those arrows back in the box and am saving them for a rainy day. LOL
The second one
I took aim on a competitors arrows that were in the 12 ring of a target he was practicing on. He only had one arrow in each target. the first shot was a 20 yard shot and it broke his arrow. The second arrow was at 27 yards and it piped it. LOL any way I ended up winning that shoot. It was the first and only shoot my dad has ever been to and It was my number 1 arrow "meaning I label my arrows 1-12 so I can tell when one goes hay wire" shoved in the back of the competitors arrow. So I guess it was fate that day
I try and not shoot at the same spot unless it is 60 yards and past with my hunting arrows and then I only shoot three or less at the spot. The arrows are tooo expensive to ruin. I will shoot at the same spot with my target arrow but they all have pin nocks which eliminate the robin hoods. The torn fetchings are something you just have to get used to when shoot tournaments.
The first time I ever did that I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Still have the arrows just like yours. :))
The second time I did it I thought "Hmm, did it again." :-k
The third time I did it I was so ticked off at the money I just lost, I vowed to never shoot at the same spot on a target again. :>/
