RE: Questions about arrows (Newbie)
In that bow, I'd stick with the 22".
As for the Barnetts arrows being usless...(as the others have said)...what the h$ll are you shooting into?
Barnett doesn't make their arrows, not sure who does..I'd guess Easton. In any case, the only time I've lost ANY arrow to damage like you note is when the arrow hits another "hard, inmovable object! And I do have some Barnett sold aluminum and C.F. arrows.
Best take a look at foam or bag type targets.
Hopefully...accuracy will come into your shooting desires.
