monsterbucks1 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Has anyone broke a carbon arrow of the top of a foam target. I just Snapped one off at the base of the fletchings last night by hitting the top of another Target. The arrow was a easton Axis ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: Broke Carbon Arrow i have never broken a Goldtip just by hitting a target. it either had a weak spot there or something hard is in your target. glad your ok and it didnt break when you shot it. Shoot Strong Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: Broke Carbon Arrow Like Tony I have never broke one in a target. However Tony Tree and I have put several into the hardwoods. Broke quiet a few there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot Strong Tony [/ QUOTE ] Yup, i agree with Tony. Ive driven GT's into old barn wood and they lived. Something was wrong with that arrow or something hard in the target. You better check the rest to be sure theyre ok (do the roll test) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] WE contacted Easton about that and they never ever responded to us ... thus the reason we will never ever buy Axis arrows again ... they broke in that exact spot on all but 2 of them ...

VTbowman Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: Broke Carbon Arrow I have broken 2. Once by hitting a 3D deer target that was on a slope (and shakey) and the whole target fell and snapped the arrow off. The last 1 I broke was sticking about 12" (33" total with broadhead) out of the side/back of a big doe and when she hit the sapplings it snapped off at the hide. 1st was a Beaman ICS 400 and the last one was a GT 3555.
