Ok, I'm getting about the same shoot/don't shoot answers. Not sure what to do. I did a real good flex job on these babies with my hands. Did not hear any creaking or cracking sounds. They feel stout to me so, I'm gonna change out the nocks as suggested, refletch and shoot these shafts. Thanks for all the responses and all opinions are valued.

Flex them first. If they have cracks, you will hear and see the cracks. If not cracked, they will be fine. Those were very tough shafts, but could get cracked if the hit rocks etc at a glancing blow.

Thanks Steve!
Ok, I went out on a limb and shot one of the arrows today. Picked the best fletched one, checked the nock real good and shot it into my target. Approx. 15yds, 3 shots and the arrow flew straight all three times.
I think I found my hunting arrow and broadhead to match my bow for this seasson! Gonna order some yellow 5" shield cut feathers from 3R's.
Oh ya, I shot these from the 48# Tigercat not the Black Bear. The Tigercat is what I'll be hunting with this year.

I got to looking down the shaft very carefully, and it's really hard to see but, looks like it says Sabre Glass F45. Can anyone identify these shafts? I was told they are Bear shafts but, someone else said they might be the old Wing Green Shafts.

From what I have been told, only one company made them for the various archery companies. So they might look different but might be all the same Mfg.
I have a dozen, I have shot them with very good results, and I will use them to hunt.
