I'd like to hear the tale. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I've heard this before about the BlackHawk Vapors. I've been shooting the same dozen for quite a while and haven't noticed it, BUT I'm sure it is my shooting ability (or lack of).

Why do they do this, and which arrows are prone to it?

Well it's the way they are constructed.. the fibers are all parallel or perpendicular. There is no "reinforcement" at the corners like some IC carbons (Goldtip & CX, e.g). As they get shot quite a bit or when they take a hard impact, the layers shift slightly...causing them to basically bend.

The advantage to this system is it's easier to get consistent spine.

Hope that helps <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
