It didn't happen until I had shot them for over 2 wks.  
I think something happened to those shafts, maybe they got stepped on or something.   :confused:

I baby my arrows compared to some because I made them myself. I straighten them, look for problems in grain fade out, align the nock properly, etc.....?

It's hard to find a good source for POC in the heavier spine weights and that are tapered.

Hey Ron
I like poc I was just wanting to try some hard wood. I have never shot any ash or such. I was hoping to get an arrow to finish out about 525- 550gr. with good foc..
