If the arrow brakes, who cares if you made the kill- even at $13bucks it's cheaper than buying fresh meat at the store and you still get credit for the kill- price of admission. I trim all my kills out with a 30yr old 6" fillet knife anyway so I'm not going to keep any meat that doesn't look like I should keep it(I take my time and look at all the meat).
My only bitch about carbon arrows- is their lack of mass weight. I want an arrow that weighs more than 550-600grns for a hunting arrow anyway. I shoot full length(un-trimmed)2018s with 125grn Zwickey 2blade Eskimos- they weigh out at 570grns- just right- more mass- more impact- better kill...
