I've heard of people having trouble with their carbon arrows breaking rather easily. Is there any truth to this?

I use gold tip xt's and never had a problem with them breaking. I've put the arrows through hell too.

i use beman ics 400's never ever had a problem.......i'll never go back to aluminum

Yeh, they can break. And so can aluminum bend or break. Depends on what you are shooting them into. Rocks and trees leave a lasting impression on any arrow. Carbon is more durable than aluminum. Let's leave it at that.
