Anyway, when they were ready to shoot, I took them outside and shot one at 15 meters at an old arrow hole in my bag target, and centered the hole :goldtooth: and the arrow flew perfectly. OK, back to 20 meters and shot another. This one hit exactly where I was looking, and had slipped in touching the first. Wow. Back to 25 meters and shot another. There was a bit of a funny "crack" sound as the arrow hit, but it was only an inch or so from the first two.
Alrighty, nice group that, really pleased with the new arrows. Lets retrieve them and shoot some more.
But, on getting to the target and having a look, that last arrow had hit one of the previous ones dead center of the nock, and had split the arrow into four. The pieces of the nock are probably still in orbit somewhere, I couldn't find them.
Darn, only shot three shots and already have damaged one new arrow beyond repair :biglaugh: Didn't take long........
Still, after giving the rest of them a go, really happy with the new set, even if it is now incomplete, because they do shoot well.

Obviously not.......this time.
Ah well, I can think of worse, less satisfying ways to destroy an arrow. Like watching your arrow zero in on a cow pat, only to have the cow pat become a rock. That arrow exploded :biglaugh: Stumping is really good fun though.
Actually, I might go do some right now.

I quit shooting groups for just that reason. Now I only shoot one arrow, retrieve it and shoot again, this way every shot has to be your best because it is only that first shot that counts.
yep!
