I would like to thank Jason @ tuffhead and Allen @10 ring for their wonderful and quick service. Also a shoutout to Champion bowstrings and Terry for the digital marketplace.
The query I have is regarding toughness of carbon arrows.
I initially used the budget 340 Ics bowhunters. I still have one survivor from my initial set. After that I have tried axis , vintage , trad hunters and lastly the premium black eagle shafts - carnivores. The thought was to push for high foc.
I am just at my wits end as I am breaking shafts like crazy. When footed the ics, vintage , axis and the carnivore snap off behind the footing.
I tried without footing the arrows and get mushrooming on the shafts on stump hits.
I am likely headed to uk in the later part of the year and have the following options
A) pick up the best of above I.e. axis
B) try my luck from these - gt trad, fmj or acc.
C) ask big jim for dark timbers ( massive shipping costs)
What is your take ? Is it common for arrows to mushroom after one strike on hard stumps?
What is the toughest and straightest arrow shaft ?
