OK how do you guys do the 10 Yard practice? I know your new bows are faster than my 05 Ally.

My first shot went through my Block hitting the cement wall and mushrooming the end of the shaft as the tip drove back into the arrow [:@]. So I got a my second Block and put it behind the target. And the arrows stopped, but the tips didn't and popped them right off..(Guess they weren't glued Matt?) I had to dig them out of the block.
I don't know, I shot at least 50 rounds with those arrows just like that, so I'm not sure. Sometimes when the glue holding a point in gets older, it gets brittle and an impact can break that seal in there causing it to come loose. Is this what happened?

Use Super Glue to put them back in. Wipe the shaft down inside with acetone though as well as the outside of the point, and make sure they slip in easily before putting the glue on.
