I hear ya. In my experience, the only way you are going to damage them by doing something that would damage 99.9% of arrows.

I bought 1/2 dozen 2 years ago, am now down to 4.

One was a mishap while playing with fine hair release trigger settings, through a door jam and into a cinderblock wall, not pretty. The other was lost just this year after sailing right under a very nice 10 point's heart area. Lost it in the thick crap, think it buried in the loose layer of decomposing leaves/twigs/plants, etc.

Remaining 4 are as straight and consistent as the day I bought them. I have the utmost confidence in them do to their tight spec consistency.
