Your hickory was bad. You can tell by the color of it and the way it broke. It wasn't healthy and strong. Might have been a dead tree still standing when it was logged out. That, combined with the pyramid and not flat belly caused extra stress on it, so it blew.

Thanks CP, trying new hickory and will be following the flat belly on the next one.  All the advice on PA has been a lifesaver and the moral boosts don't hurt either  ;D
