On this BBS and some others I have seen post referring to the Game Tracker Carbon Express arrows. These posts indicate a failure while coming out of the bow. For whatever reason, damage, underspine, using the wrong adhesive, I do think that it is something to think about.

XTARCHER, I am, by no means, saying that carbons are dangerous. I know that aluminums have been known to fail during the shot, but there seems to be quite a bit of failures regarding this particular brand recently.

It could be the fact that certain procedures caused the failure. I certainly am interested in what caused them.

I actually like the benefits of shooting carbon. F.O.C. advantages, strength and weight advantages resulting in better speed and trajectory, also durability advantages.

I am not skeptical of carbons but damaged aluminum is easier to detect than damaged carbons.

I have been hearing a saying that if a carbon aint straight it is broken. That is fine as long as it dont break before it clears the bow.

xtarcher, Are you going to shoot some local 3-d this year?
