Default RE: Do carbon arrows go bad?

ORIGINAL: Ausie-guy

Carbon arrows do not bend or warp like Aluminum arrows do .
I hate to tell you this but they do.



The biggest problem with carbons is that they lose spine after a while specially if you are shooting into a hard target like the one you have.

The friction of the impact causes the shaft to heat up which in turn slowly breaks down the bond between the carbon fibers, weakening the spine.
Hmm? Never heard of this before. Burning out the spine of a carbon arrow? Might need to upgrade arrows.
