    How often do you get new arrows? I have shot the same Easton ACC'S for three years. Time for new ones?

    Do you think they wear out after a while and need to be replaced?

    Yeah I'm replacing arrows every couple months.. From losing them or damaging them while practice shooting. But arrows are cool and I have a few kinds and sizes I just mess around with then I have a couple walmart ones for squirrel and rabbits and to practice fletching on. I guess it probably depends on how often you use them.. Always check for cracks

    no, if they spin well keep using them till they dont or you loose them.

    Target shooters shoot the same batch of ACC's for years with no issues. with a little care you should be able to too

    I buy 6 every year pick out the best 3 to save for hunting and throw the rest in the practice bucket. I don't go thru many arrows for hunting I only get 1 deer a year.

    You be hard pressed to find any inconsistency in ACC's. target archers Have been using them with their money on the line for years.
    That said it pays to keep a few shafts set aside in perfect condition for the hunting season.

    I shoot CX pile drivers, pretty consistant arrows. I guess shooting them is a confidence thing. After season the arrows I have left in my quiver go in the practice bucket. I will on occasion ups somebody an arrow to get them to try a heavier arrow.

    I get them every 3 years or so. I keep all my old ones. I have been shooting FMJs for several years now and I won't be changing for years to comes. Especially since I got my hands on the Injexion Deep Six version. AWESOME!!

    Sorry to be blunt but if it aint broke don't fix it. Long as they are straight and fly true there is no expiration date. :)

    I usually buy one dozen a year. I put six aside for hunting. However many arrows are left over at the end of the hunting season go to practise arrow pile. Right now I have about 2 dozen FMJs.
