As with any product problems can happen & a bad batch can get out. I do not shoot Eastons carbon shafts now but I have in the past & they have proven very durable.

I would contact Easton and talk to their people. From a quality control and liability perspective they would be highly interested in your experience.

Easton produces high quality arrow shafts and this is not the norm for any of their shafts. Of all the companies making carbons Easton is the one I have heard of almost no problems from.

Good luck, contact Easton & talk with them! An expereince such as yours can provide a wealth of information to them and help them correct whatever problem you had.
