    For any of you that have ever shot at an iron buck here's an arrow that will stand up to some punishment. It has an an aluminum shaft piece epoxied on the tip and nock end.

    Have you shot it yet to see how it works? Would assume that the tip would hold up to it but still think that the shaft will split but could be wrong.
