I used to do bad things to alums when I was a kid and have seen them bend and break at the range too. It wasn't the arrows fault it got snapped, it was mine for shooting it where I did. If it had been an alum damage would have happened to it too and on those other shots into the wood would have bent the alums probably. (Only reason I say that is another guy shooting with me bent one of his with a similiar shot) I don't think I am going to stop shooting my carbons anytime soon because I just flat out prefer them.


I should say it wasn't fun but it was kind of funny watching the tail section go flying away from the main part of the arrow. At least the other guys at the range thought it was hilarious
