Found old arrow-is it still good?

This past weekend i was at a 3D shoot.I missed the one target and while looking for my Herritage 250,i found one of my old Vapor Carbonwood 400 shaft that i use to shoot 2 to 3 years ago.So this arrow been under ground for about close to 3 years.The finish looks ok,but no feathers(rotted away).Will weather and elements weaken carbon after years of being out in the weather?

I just found an arrow dynamics that I lost in 2002. I had burnt the grass, brush hogged and mowed that area many times each year. I pulled the field tip off and flexed and bent and looked it over real good. I fletched it up and went stumpin tonite(and hung out my trail cams). it sshoots fine. use your judgment and becareful. An arrow is good or it isn't. any doubt, cut it up. an injury is not worth the cost of an arrow.

Cool. :-D
I love it when that happens. A few weeks ago I found one of my old aluminums that had been laying around in the woods for a year or so. Missed a squirrel and spent a ton of time looking for the silly thing when it happened and it may as well have been on the moon. This year - there it was.
