but this is just my opinon, but would hate to see someone hurt.

I don't quite understand your concern with takedown arrows. I am a builder of these arrows and also a manufacturing engineer. If the arrow is made properly, there should be no concern. First of all, the joint is actually stronger than the arrow itself. If the arrow is going to break, it's going to break somewhere other than the joint. I have well over 100 shots on the test arrow with no problems what so ever. If you're target shooting or are in a situation where you have plenty of space you would have no use for takedown arrows. However, takedown arrows are terrific for special occasions such as backpacking, hunting in deep brush, limited space, or anything else where a long arrow would be inconvenient. Also, they shoot just as well and accurate as a regular arrow. Good hunting to you.
