The people at beeman are going to have there engineers look into it. I sent them the arrow and the rest of the arrowsI got in the 1\2 dozen. They said it was weird because the shaft went 20yds past the target an stuck in the ground, the little peice went 3yds past the target, and the other peice pretty much stayed on the string and ended up in my hand. Spent 5 hours in the emergency room.I can tell you this, it is gonna be hard to shoot again....oh yea I did check my arrow before I shot it, The way they tell you to on there web site...John
