I have shot Beman ICS 400' s for three years and I love em. Even the arrows that I use for practice, I wouldn' t worry much about taking them out and hunting with them because of being bent or something like that. I' ve only had one break on me. But that was in an outdoor 3-D shoot and I wacked it up against a tree. Oh well. I' ve skidded a couple across pavement, picked em up and they were still straight as can be. Good choice T-23.
