ausie guy is right on.
lean a graphite fishing rod against the wall...come back in a year or so. betcha she aint so straight anymore

people think carbons are broke or perfect...that aint true.
id really love a spine checker for my old easton Epics. im pretty sure i shot the spine out of them. they seem really weak now...when i bend them to check them they bend really easy...guess that'll happen when you shoot most every chance you get from snow out till snow starts with the same couple arrows

every time id pull out a new one, id shoot it and hit it with another and bust it
if you got a couple years out of your carbons, id say turn em into tomato stakes and figure you got your moneys worth

i still say they are cheap to shoot than alums, i figure id have a dozen of them bent and unshootable in no time...
