My first look would be at the nocks. Are they seated properly?
Second, I'd be looking at the nock end of the shafts. I have had a few easton rampage's start to split up the shaft, but only after I hit something hard, like a stump or wood planks I have out near my target.
Third, I'd be looking at arrow weight and spine. Are they too stiff for the draw? Not stiff enough? Weights of the arrows consistent?
If all of these aspects are within the recommendations by the manufacturer, I'd guess you may have a bad batch of arrows.
For myself, I buy 2-3 dozen arrows after the season when they go on sale with huge discounts. I use one dozen for target practice all winter, and use the second dozen to replace what I break or wear out throughout the year. About a month before the season opens, I break out that last dozen, take a handful of shots with them to tune the broadheads, and we're out the door with blood in my eyes (for the deer of course).
Rampages are pretty cheap, as I was able to get them for $40 a dozen on sale, so I bought a bunch.
Glad I did too, as I broke a dozen over the past two months.
Good luck!
Dave
