You probably better wait a while before you call Satan and tell him that you are heading his way with a snow shovel<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I personally just don't believe that.

I have just seen to many Gold Tips hit trees, steel drums, and concrete. You may have shot a Gold Tip that was already cracked or that had internal layers broke and you continued to shoot it or some other extenuating circumstance. Hell, I even bought some beach front property from a guy in Arizona but I ain't buying that<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Your kidding right?
You've never heard of or seen someone take a quartering away shot at a deer only to have the broadhead stick in the opposite side leg causing it to remain in the deer and break when the deer takes off running? I had it happen with my goldtips and it happened last year with my bemans. The difference is , a perfectly good carbon wont shatter under normal conditions but being lodged inside a 150lb animal between it's legs when it decides to head south isn't a normal situation.

RE: It'll be a cold day in he....
I have had a snowman I mean Carbon arrow brake off in a deer. Found the six-inch piece covered in blood 50yds into tracking. It was a clean brake with absolutely no splinters. ICS Camo Hunter.
Watched a carbon explode once on a guy during release. It looked scary but I switched to carbons that year so I guess it wasn’t that scary. Don’t know what kind and I bet he didn’t check the arrow before he shot.
P.S. He had no injuries. Never thought to ask him if he had cancer though.
