i love my beeman ics 400's. never let me down in the crunch time and always shoot great. although they quite making them i might change to radial weave. i've shot a few of them and they work just as well as beeman ics 400. you might of got a bad batch or may not of. all i know is those makenzies are sometimes hard to pull arrows out of. them and rinehart. how old is your target?
