How do ya'll inspect carbon arrows before shooting? Just visually or do you tweak them a little bit and see if there is a noticable creaking?

The reason I ask, I was shooting last night and had looked at my arrows they seemed ok. But one shot hit the target and folded over. It had broke on impact about 4 inches down from the nock. it was Beaman hunter it flew accurately and hit where i was aiming. I know it made me nervous and I'm awful glad it didn't break upon release.
