DirtTime Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Good thing you did check them. That could have been nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I check them as i shoot so it was kinda of scary to have it break before going to shoot , Like how did i miss it when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 The first 6 I bought ,I loved . The 6 I bought in the beginning of the year have had 3 of the wrap pull back over the nock while shooting. I'm gonna go a different route next time I need arrows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowguy 1 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Carbon fibers in your hand is especially nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 just last year I know of a kid that got one to the hand. he had it wrapped up like crazy. multiple trips to the doc and lots of time to get the splinters out. basically looked like it was shot with a shotgun. for 3D shoots this summer I've tossed a few after they got hit. after a while though carbon shafts just give. always check them before shooting not here and there. don't have to flex them much. just look and quietly listen for cracks. cracks under wraps are an evil thing that go unnoticed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've had 2 break during the bend test ,both just snapped clean right where the bad spot was with little effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
