Question about carbons breaking in Deer
 

What happens if i shot a deer and do not get a pass through with my carbon express terminators. If the arrow breaks than wont it send slivers all over the chest cavity and meat. Will it ruin the meat.

I had that exact senario happen 3 weeks ago. CE 3D Select 300's, when the deer took off running, the shoulder blade snapped the arrow inside the deer. The shaft had a very, very, clean break. By exmaining both arrow sections, no splintering had occured. Other carbon shafts may break/splinter differently. The shoulder blade also bent the muzzy 3 blade/100gr so it was unuseable (a $13+ shot total <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>). Muzzy went through the heart and was poking out the skin, good blood trail <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>, deer went 125 yards, very, very little meat damage. :)

All clean breaks I have seen with carbons. I have heard if it does happen your are suppose to wash and remove any meat around the site that might be tainted, but not sure if this right!

I say HORSESPIT! I shot one friday and the arrow broke,couldnt have made a cleaner break with a saw!No carbom fragments or anything. If ya double lung em, theres no meat loss no matter what.

Nuge, just get some of the newer thicker ones Ted is shooting. Feel the spirit of the wild.

I have heard that they will splinter, but my friend shot a doe last week, and the arrow broke in 2 places, both clean breaks.

I shot a buck last year with terminator clean break no problem.
year before shot a buck with a skinny carbon not a clean break but also no splinters in the wound area. But both were heart shots& both went 125 yards.
