Carbon arrow exploded on me last night!
 
I know its been said before on this forum but please - INSPECT YOUR ARROWS BEFORE SHOOTING!!

Last night I was shooting my razortec w/ cx300's and one blew up when I released. The arrow split into three sections and bruised my wrist and whacked me in the neck. Luckily I got only bruises and scratches but I couldn't stop thinking about that guy with the arrow in his wrist. Scary man.

Glad to hear you're OK. Are you going to still stick with the carbons?

The carbons I shoot has it printed on the arrow to flex the arrow before each shot. I don't know if this is to find any cracks that may be inthem or to warm them up so to speak before the shot.

Last year was my first with carbons, how common is this?

Glad you are alright. I am curious, do you use arrow wraps? I ask because I use them and have always wondered if they conceal cracks in my arrows.
