Alright I am having an issue with some of my CX200's breaking about 2-3 inches above my point. Anyone else experience this? 3 out of 12 have done this now. ______________________________________________________ Ugg boots Uggs
What bow and set-up are you shooting them out of??? If you're shooting too weak of spine, that and WORSE can happen.
I would throw them away or return them to the manufactuer. You do not want to mess around with that. If they break while your shooting them the carbon shaft can get driven into your hand or arm. It's not worth it.
This can happen from shooting under spined (weak) shafts, shafts damaged from hard impact, heat damage from insert installation or poor quality control. I would carefully inspect all of your remaining arrows for damage/defects before shooting again. If you read the fine print: WARNING - Follow These Instructions To Avoid Personal Injury An arrow shaft can become damaged from impacts with hard objects or other arrows or after being shot into a game animal. A damaged arrow could break upon release and injure you or a bystander. You must carefully inspect each arrow shaft, nock, and other components before each shot to see that they have not been damaged. Before shooting, place the arrow between your thumb and fingers, and, using your other hand to slowly rotate the shaft, run your fingertips along the entire arrow length, feeling and looking closely for nicks, cracks, splits, dents, or other marks that could indicate the shaft has been damaged. When checking carbon arrows, perform the following additional tests: Grasp the shaft just above the point and below the nock, then flex the arrow in an arc (bending it away from you and others) with a deflection of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm), and listen for cracking noises. Perform this test four to six times, rotating the arrow slightly between each flex until you have gone around the entire arrow. If you hear or feel cracking, the carbon has been damaged. While still holding the point and fletching ends, twist the shaft in both directions. If the arrow “relaxes” or twists easily, the carbon has been damaged. If an arrow has been damaged, or if you believe it has been damaged, do not shoot it again as it could break on release, and sharp arrow pieces could hit and injure you or someone nearby. It is a common mistake to believe that "a carbon arrow is either broken or straight". Safety First!
