I popped my cherry on a 35 yarder....
I had just sighted my 30 and 40 yrd pins and was shooting "tweeners" at 35 and nailed this my second shot. By the sound of it I thought I had missed the target completely. I walked up to see this!
Check ou the carbon splitting...and the knock pierced! With a field tip!
A perfect line! Oh, and yes, that is a couch cushion on 4 bales of hay as my target! Works on all tips!
Do you think an aluminum would have split?

The first time I did this I was as excited as Heck, couldn't believed it and saved the arrows. After the first time you then get pissed off because you're busting arrows. Ive done it 3 times in the last year and everytime it costs me $$$. Congrats on the shot, doing that at 30 + yards is a great accomplishment.

Yep, I saved the arrows! I have had arrows deflect or spear a fletch but never had two very close to being the exact shot. I was amazed at the fact that it pierced the nock and kept its line directly down the shaft. I was also amazed at how the carbon split and held the arrow like it did.
It was a $6 dollar arrow, no biggie, but its valued alot more to me now.
The funny thing is that I was having a problem grouping my 30 and 40 yrd shots, and the second shot of a "tweener" had these results.
If it happens again, Im going to slow down my practicing...Im down to only 9 arrows...and two needed reletching due to similar shots that split a vane.
Im just wondering what an aluminum would do. Anyone do this with an aluminum?

Yup, aluminum splits, too. And as Siman said, it is always a funny zig-zap pattern down one side. Very hard to separate them, usually. I haven't doneit since I switched to Uni-bushing aluminums (XX78) many years ago. The Uni-bushing maymake the alignment for a robinhood that much more critical, as well as strengthening the rear of the shaft.
Nice shooting! Now don't do it again!
