great !!!, I just started shooting my easton axis arrows and I have a really hard time getting the arrows out of my foam target ( even with a arrowpuller and a srop of vaseline on the tips )
I switched from aluminium to the axis because of erratic arrowflight out of my whiskerbiscuit.
how much of a difference would a slightly bent arrow make on a target ?
I can't check them, only with the naked eye....( I'm ashamed to say we're not yet evolved to that kind of level when it comes to bowhunting in Belgium )

Frank,
Don't twist the arrows as you pull them from foam targets Correct way is to pull them stright out----ball busters sometimes.
To check strightness you can roll them on any flat surface and see if there is any wobble. It's even better is that surface is shorter than the arrow so the ends protrude. Then you can see the wobble at the ends. This isn't the best way, but it's quick, easy, and free.
Depending on which tips you are using (broadheads or field tips) a little wobble might not hurt. Broadheads will be the worst. If ya have some that have a bit of wobble I'd still shoot them and see how they group with those that are relatively wobble free.
