Lying on his deathbed in Kirkless Priory, Robin turns to his faithful giant friend and whispers the, new memorable words: "Bury me where my arrow falls".

Recent reconstruction indicates that the likely maximum distance an arrow would fly from a longbow of that era is 227 yards. Strange, that the plot, now described as Robin’s grave - is over 600 yards from the Priory.

No matter….

Robin with his last ounce of strength raises the bow, notches the arrow and lets it fly straight and true.

So what did Robin know?

Here’s his secret:

1. So what are your targets?

2. How far away are they?

3. With the far away ones - are you aiming high enough?

4. What does that mean in a practical sense?

E.g - If you need to reach a target of 100, aim for 150 and get 66.6% of a target than aim at 100 and fall short!.
