My favorite carbon break was shooting a 3D. I was just releasing when a horsefly bit me on the back of the neck. I jerked the shot, the arrow hit a tree on one side of the lane, ricocheted across and bounced off a tree on the other side, back across and hit another tree and broke. The tip and about 6" of shaft stuck in the 12-ring. The arrow never hit the ground, so I was allowed to count it. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
