mine have doin this and i think it is safe if they are not peeling to bad.
That advice could get someone really hurt!
Do NOT under any circumstances shoot ANY arrow that is showing ANY defect whatsoever.
Exactly... I had one of my Beman ICS Hunter 340's land short of my Block 4X4 and scoot along the ground, under the Block 4X4 and get stopped by a rock near my woodpile. It was okay - I was using field points, and misjudged the 30 yard shot (with a 20 yard pin!). [:-]
I found the Beman ICS Hunter 340 and it was dirty, but unharmed. But I didn't want to take a chance with it, so I put it aside and resumed practice with the remaining arrows.
Once I was done, and about to put my stuff away, I got a magnifying glass and carefully examined the whole entire carbon arrow all over from nock to insert, all the way around. I was checking for cracks, splits, splinters, etc... and everything was okay.
