Back when the first carbon wraps came out - I jumped right on the bandwagon, and picked up a dozen (I can't believe I forget the name... I'm 90% sure it was the first-generation Beman wraps)... anyway... I was borderline underspined, and blew two of them, one in the woods in deer season, and one in the yard.

One was a fluke, two was a pattern. It took me about 6 years to finally regain the courage to try a carbon arrow again.

Imagine the disgust when you settle the 20 yarder on the buck's chest, only to pull the trigger, and WHAM! Then, about 3 seconds after trying to figure out what happened, you see the crested half of your arrow fluttering to the ground only 5 yards out.

Not sure if I had a defective batch or what... They have come a long way though. Honestly, a kinked aluminum arrow can do the same thing.

Bowhunting isn't exactly the safest sport in the world.
