Default BREAKING ARROWS

Hey guys,do you break a lot of arrows from shooting so accurately? I guess this would be a good problem to have but I would think that if your busting one or two arrows per session that would be the most expensive part of this sport.

It can be a expensive problem metro. Once I am all tuned in I usually shoot at different spots on the target to keep from breaking knocks, arrows, and cutting vanes.

When I shoot at 20 or 30 yardsI just shoot one arrow at each of the 4 small bullseyes on my target. Especially when I shoot my broadheads. At 40-60 yards I wish I had that problem but I dont.

Shoot at different spots and you won't have this problem.

Yep. I shot groups once. Im too poor to shoot groups, just in case I do happen to get a robin hood or anything. I shot groups once, then I quit, because this happened.

I use to until I stopped stacking arrows. Buy a target with3 dots on it and shoot each arrow at a diffrent dot. This is what I do and when I get to my last arrow (I only shoot groupd of 4) I shoot my last arrow at the dot that has the most room remaining. Since I've been doing this I seldom beat up my arrows.

I think if you are busting arrows and ruining fletchings on a consistet basis you are an idiot. Or have more money that you have sense.

I have only had 4 robin hoods since I started shooting so I wouldn't consider it very expensive...though if you get good enough then you can break nocks and rip fletchings easily enough.
