LOL they didnt even manage to HIT the wooden arrow that accurately

I think with a very lucky shot it can be done.
the largest problem would be when the second arrow hits the arrowhead of the first
For it to "split" it as in the Robinhood movie. the first arrowhead would have to be deeply embedded in the target so that the shaft actually penetrated it.

Near impossible. yes. but with a lucky shot. not totally impossible.

Though there have been a few Mythbusters things they've done I've questioned.

I certainly wouldnt call them the "snopes" of mythbusting

entertaining show nonetheless

well, the secoind arrow would hit the nok of the first arrow. with the arrows we shoot now, the nok is normally some sort of plastic, and some are designed to deflect the second arrow to save the first.  mostly, they just split, and the arrows become one.
 the problem with the wooden arrow spittting would be the natural tendency of the second arrow to follow the grain of the wood.

 i think.

they proved that soda wouldn't explode in a car in the summer either. my geo is proof they were wrong on that one,,,came out found pepsi all over the place in there. it's STIULL not all gone :rofl

flukes of the natural laws of physics and science happen all the time. what is impossible is not always impossible.

just look at JETSOM, he's living proof that even a dork can get lucky and in violation of all the laws of reason, still get the greatest woman.
