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.

I hate to tell ya this little buddy, but Ausie (Oh I hate to say this, It will make his head swell even more) will probably forget more about archery than most on this forum will ever know... I know, I shoot with him, and trust me, people from all over the world call and ask him for advise on all aspects of archery... Rarely will he ever post something that is incorrect, unless it's about how I shoot....
Easy there....Revvvv.... Not sure I said anywhere that I didn't believe him. Just never heard of it before. But thanks for letting me know about his long elustrious career in archery.

Buddy.
