I shoot the ICS 400s and have no problems. I have been shooting them for 3 years now. Mine fly great w/ field tips & broadheads.
I have shot the gold tips, easton axis, & ACCs, and really have not seen any significant differance.

ICSH are generally very tough arrows. I've broke very few of them.

Generally you shouldn't be twisting carbons anyways to get 'em out of a target, but I suspect you got a batch with poor resin. Have you been leaving them out during the summer? in the hot sun or similar?

No!

I'm going to be using my ACC's for hunting now so I guess it really doesn't matter. But unless you have 3 guys. One holding the target & two pulling on the arrow. It's almost impossible to get some carbons out without twisting them to break them loose after their burned in to a target! I've shot allot of different arrows and have never had this problem before. It also seems that the Beman arrows burn in a little more that other carbon arrows.

Arrow lube. Thats why they invented it

Carbon gets mighty hot hitting the target at those speeds.

But A/C/Cs area muchbetter choice, don't blame ya for stayin with them.

Isn't that the truth[&:]To bad I lost my handy little dispenser tube

I have never liked beman carbons from when I bought my first set in 1991-92. CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

I have started to use the radial weave arrows by PSE and they are very durable and fly straght.

I have also started to notice that the quality of the Bemans is starting to get iffy. Durability really seems to be a problem right now.

never had one break on me while pulling them out of anything. trees, wood, just about anything. not sure why yours broke right there in the middle. i'd say give them another try and see what you think.
