exploding arrows?? help me!
markinengland:
Any arrow can break like that if it is too weak for the bow. The arrow bends and because it is too weak bends too much and breaks.
It could have been because of a grain flaw in the shaft or because of previous damage there.
An arrow in good condition and of enough stiffness can be shot around quite a wide handle with no problem.
medicinewheel:
All that is true, Mark. But in my experience - I never had any of my arrows to break in shot since day one - it's sort of rare that an arrow braeks, except when it is dramatically under-spined or there is a problem with grain orientation.
But it seems with POC there happens a material fatique!?
Again: I don't know whether this is true; I was told so by several expierienced archers!
Pat B:
The only arrows I have had break(only one or 2) when shot were either damaged or had bad grain run off. If your arrow is spined correctly it will get around the bow(archers paradox). None of my bows are center shot. None even have shelves.
What materials are your arrows? Are they spined correctly for the draw weight and draw length? Do you inspect your arrows occasionally for damage?

Exactly ::) Alec, most guys wont follow links and hunt for your pictures, try posting your pictures using a meathod that will show up here. Photobucket works great and this site has photo capability also.
