yes, i've done it to an arrow also. bent the front 3" like a snake. it was a gold tip ultra lite. i shot it right into a full dimensional oak 2x4 and it buried about 3.5".the oak was already crackedin places from other arrows, but still hard. i dug it out with a chisel. i'm not sure if the hit did it or if my prying on the wood for 20 minutes did it. it got flexed hard every which way while i was prying and it was completely contained so it didn't break.
