Better to be safe than sorry. Besides, your hand won't heal in time for the season to start! And you may shoot your eye out!

Oh Yea, better safe then sorry. I thought it was a little strange about the arow length. My dray is 27.5 and my arrows are shorter then my draw.

donate it to someone with a shorter draw and have it cut and refletched for their size .
Someone like a young archer would be be very happy to use it . For yourself it is not worth the risk

Trash it. Carbons are great, but when they get a nick, its time to go. Bend test your arrows often to make sure you dont have any hidden cracks. Bend your arrows by hand and listen while you bend. If you hear a creek or any crackling type sound, trash the arrow.
