The carbon arrows that explode are going to be target arrows 99% of the time due to the continuous abuse from targets and other arrows smacking them.The reason is they are thin walled and light weight causing them to be more apt to damage.They must be checked before each shot for damage.


It is highly unlikely that the carbon fiber is going to hurt you.The concern is with the splinters that can get stuck in the meat and actually cut you when eating it,not the material itself.

I work with carbon and breath the dust much more than I would like.The amount of carbon fiber you would have to consume to hurt you is much more than a whole arrow would contain.


Also,Easton has a HUGE line of carbon arrows and many carbon HUNTING arrows.They probably don't care if you use aluminum or carbon.They would be more concerned with you using their product.

They seem to be the only ones that care enough to add the warning,or the only ones that understand the chance of a law suit,however small.
