-In response to the tips cracking. That was me typing ina hurry at work. I should have said the ends where my nocks are. I assume the energy reverbated throught the shaft causing a severe vibration at the nock, which caused a slight split in the arrow. I Shot the arrows tonight to see if it affected it. They have a little wobble, but they flew decent. I wont use them for hunting, but they are fine to practice.

Importantly, i think since i was stressed and my mind was else where, i didnt have the same nocking point on my face. I shot tonight and had 5 in groups at 45 yrds. So im back.
