There are many, many, people using these shafts. Not to say they are totally safe-I don't know-the CXL 350's have proven they are, as well as the CX100's, 200's, and 300's, that have been out for over 4 years. One of the ones that blew up was at the cronograph-the poster said he didn't know what happened-arrows blow up quite often when they HIT the cronograph-could have happened.

Also, the 2213 bushing people are using exposes a little of the carbon surrounding the bushing-doesn't sound like a great fit to me. Mel Shrewsberry from Shrewd Pecision Products is coming out with bushing in the next week. I'd either stick with a custom fit bushing, or the nock supplied with the arrow. Imagine if the bushing is being driven forward, with only a portion of the wall of the arrow to push against.

Some people using the arrows are using the quick set super-glue purchased at hobbie stores. Most super glues can be melted, by heating the point, to remove the point. This is what guys are doing.

Guys have told me they aren't holding up as well as the Linejammers, with more cracks forming upon bushing impact, but they look for cracks and don't shoot them at a single spot target-like any other arrow.

I heard the argument of splinter tainted meat concerning ACC's-but I still like those as well. My 250's are still on order, and will remain on order. Looking forward to getting them!
