RE: I popped my cherry on a 35 yarder....
Yep, I saved the arrows! I have had arrows deflect or spear a fletch but never had two very close to being the exact shot. I was amazed at the fact that it pierced the nock and kept its line directly down the shaft. I was also amazed at how the carbon split and held the arrow like it did.
It was a $6 dollar arrow, no biggie, but its valued alot more to me now.
The funny thing is that I was having a problem grouping my 30 and 40 yrd shots, and the second shot of a "tweener" had these results.
If it happens again, Im going to slow down my practicing...Im down to only 9 arrows...and two needed reletching due to similar shots that split a vane.
Im just wondering what an aluminum would do. Anyone do this with an aluminum?
