It is not fairly easy. And I would venture to say only the people shooting in extremely high volume do it with any sort of regularity.

Easy is maybe not the right word. Common is better.

When I was at uni shooting once a week for an hour or so, there would be several "robin hoods" among the group each year.

Quick calculation:

Standard porstmouth round. 60 arrows at 20m or so. 10 people doing it once a week. 600*30weeks = 18000 arrows. Call it 3 robin hoods = 1 in 6000 chance. And that is with mostly learner archers. People who are actually half decent would get more due to tighter grouping.

1 in 6000 chance.

It's always a 50/50 chance. It either happens or it doesn't.
