Thanks for the post.  I just sent link to my nephews.  They are particularly enamored by seeing how tight they can group.  I often see nicks in their carbons.

Jeez, I've heard of it happening but never seen it. Thanks for the PICS. Definitely an attention getter!

As many of you know I have been shooting now for almost 60 years. I have always seen pics of this sort over the years no matter the arrow shaft material. You just have to exercise safety and keep an eye on your equipment.

Yuck debbie downer here but a good reminder none the less.

Your kidding yourself if you think only carbon does this. All shafts can break. I've had one carbon go on me and I was lucky just a yellow arm for few weeks. I've seen wood shafts break on release as well. Bend em and check em after any close encounters and before each shooting session. Only takes a few seconds to check them. Safer always better than sorry.

I always thought that arm guards were for those that couldn't keep their arm out of the string's way or when bulky clothing needed to be controlled.  Currently rethinking that opinion...

Wow, Be careful guys!

I think the story behind that was. A anti hunter demonstrating how to use the bow and arrow!!

I'll be checking my arrows tonight. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe we should put the arrow wraps on the front of the arrow ? Ooh I see a new gimmick the "Arrow Wrapper Break Preventer"
