Never. I shoot every day.....and unless I hear it hit something it shouldn't.......Never.

After having an old (French) Beman explode I ran to the nearest shop and dropped the cash on some A/C/C's and haven't shot anything else since.

A few extra bucks is worth avoiding this: (luckily I was wearing a Gore-Tex jacket when mine went off)

RE: How many of us actually do???
I check them before every shot. Too many horror stories. However, my new arrows should be waiting at home for me when I get there Friday:)

RE: How many of us actually do???
I still don't do it everytime even though I know I should.........My fat 3D arrows are thin walled enough to be scary to think about.
I had a close call at a 3D shoot last year, one of my arrows exploded at release but didn't get my hand. The back fletched section stayed attached to the front 2/3 as it left the bow by a small ribbon of carbon. The thing did cartwheels off the bow and scared every living creature within a 5 mile radius. [:-] Probably 20 guys at various points all yelled at the same time "What the hell was that!?" I was lucky. Really lucky. |

If you don't you should. I was shooting with a buddy that had one blow up after he shot and it split and went right thru his had. Most of it anyway. It was NASTY!!! He went into shock and I had to carry him out of the woods. Check your arrows before you shoot them and if you hit somthing hard check before you shoot that arrow again!!! ITS NOT A PRETTY SITE when one sticks in you hand!!!
