Default Cant seem to keep arrows.

I bought a dozen brand new arrows from bass bass pro back in feb.

Ive been shooting a lot and only have about 6 left.[:@]Ive broken them, busted the vanes, shot them into fences (arrows and fences do not mix), andhave broken a nock.

Does anyone else go through arrows like me?? I mean this is getting to be expenceive.

Disclamer: I could only afford the redhead genaric arrows so probobly not the most durable arrows on the market.

that what happens when you are shooting. just buy some extra nocks and flechings and learn how to reflech them.

Default RE: Cant seem to keep arrows.

When I shot CE Maximas I used to break quite a few by shooting groups. I found a steal on Easton Axis ($5 per arrow) and they are holding up better. Might be something to the whole ST thing. Skinnier, harder to robin hood due to small size,and harder to bust up.
