I have knowledge on 2 dif arrows radial x weave which are I will agree with gplant you shoot them through 3/4 ply wood they stay together except if you shoot them through 1/4 ply wood the will snap every single time. I shoot gold tips nowbecuase theirreasonable priced for a arrow with that kind of straightness and the strongest arrow I have every seen. I have used them over and over again and just every time I do something dumb I cant get over on how strong they are.
