Early this season i bought some Carbon Tech arrows at Bass pro,that were mismarked ,or so i thought.I just went to my basement to take a few shots and lookey what happened[&:][:'(][:@]

I do not know what could have caused this sort of thing.I am just glad it came apart inside my target and not into my arm.

you hit something hardinside of that target to do that kind of dammage to that shaft

Its a brand new target

Are these carbon arrows from Bass Pro that are called (there) Carbon Tech, or are they actually Carbon Tech (as in McKinney) arrows? I would not be happy with that either, but it is about a 180 degree difference from my experience with Carbon Tech Cheetahs.

No,the are actually Carbon Tech.I have Whitetail XP's that i absolutely love and have NO issues with at all.The arrow in question is a Carbon Tech Rhino.I paid $59.00 for a dozen.

well it could be just one bad arrow. I mean has any others done it yet. I get my arrows from dicks for 50 a dozen. they are called monster bucks but this time i went up in grade to easton epics. I like them a lot now. I think that is what i am going to stick to, maybe you should try them.

Weak arrows(for whatever reason)+new target= reason to becareful. My take on the experience anyways.

Bass Pro's arrows are dubbed Redhead arrows.

They are made by Carbon Express, I believe. There are Carbon Fury (10, 11 gpi, 250 or 350 spine, +-.006") 45$ a dozen

Carbon Supreme (don't remember GPI, maybe a half grain or so lighter then the fury's, .250 or .350 spines, come with blazers or durvanes, also come crested if you'd like, +- .003", have a "bufftuff" finish) 70$ and up.

Carbon Maxx (don't remember GPI again, .250 or .350 spines, blazers or duravanes, available crested, +- .0025", supposed to be a great arrow) 89$ a dozen I think.

I've had great luck with the redhead arrows so far. The Carbon Fury's are almost a mirrow to the dominator 300 (a little heavier, which could be good or bad depending on what you value more, KE or FPS).
