Arrows shot into ground

[PSUBuckHunter]

I had a quick question. I just bought some new arrows and am in the process of setting up my bow for the upcoming season. My question is how much the ground comes into effect on an arrow when shot into the ground. I shot into the ground twice (not on purpose) when trying to figure out where my bow was shooting. I wondering how worried I should be about the arrow. Luckily it was only one arrow. For reference it is a
CX Maxima Hunter 250 if that helps any. Though it may not get done perfectly I am setting it up and tuning it myself which in my mind is the way to learn, trial and error. Some may argue that though. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

spin arrow while slightly bending arrow.SLIGHTLY Look for any crackes or splinters if cracked or splinters throw it away.

If its just regular old dirt it shouldnt even be a concern, but if you hit rock or anything else hard the arrow might not like that too well. Shooting carbons you should always chech your arrow after you shoot it regardless of what it hits. Just a quick overlook and flex it to make sure you dont hear it crack and you will be good to go.
