[Ben Tiller]

Folks

I just wanted to make sure we were all aware of this recall.  Sorry to the Mods if this isn't the right place for the post, but I thought it was important:

No one has ever recalled any wood arrows of mine!  

Not making light of a situation in which another archer got hurt - thought I better add that

It looks as if this is a voluntary recall by Easton.  Kudos to them for making us aware of the risk and getting the products off the market BEFORE someone got hurt.
