This is a little off the subject, but very important to keep in mind. Just recently my friend was practicing with his bow, he retrieved his arrows after a round and we think he had hit an arrow(?). When he shot again, the front 6 inches of the shaft w/broadhead slung off to the side about 20 yds, and the remaining part slide down the riser and splintered apart, driving it through his hand! He left the 8-10 inches of arrow in his hand and went to the E.R.. They were worried about the fiberglass/carbon pieces entering his blood stream, it was a lenghty surgery and cleaning process, and he still isn't "out of the woods" yet, in fear of some particles not removed! He is an accomplished bowhunter (shoots instinctively), and "knows" what he is doing. We never thought to check the arrows out because usually you just know when you hit one or feel it when you knock it etc. Just be careful.
