Added DiffLines:
Archery is all about precision. The standard archery contest (in both fiction and real life) involves a marked target, and points based on how close to the center (or bull's eye) the archer can place his arrow.
A common dramatic situation is one where TheRival shoots first, and hits the target right in the center. It looks like TheHero has lost the competition, until he fires ''his'' arrow at the opponent's and splits it in half lengthwise.
To some extent, this is TruthInTelevision. It's not unusual for aluminum arrows to "telescope" -- one stuck in the end of another. Most archery ranges that have been open any length of time will have some examples mounted on the wall. However, for this trope to be active, the second arrow has to split the first from nock to tip. This normally requires everyone (or at least the first archer) to be using wooden arrowshafts.
This is a subtrope of ImprobableAimingSkills, and a SisterTrope to ShootTheBullet. Compare to WilliamTelling.
