    I think you would have to shoot an arrow 1000's of times I mean 1000's of times before that happened. If your shooting Easton Axis or Max Hunters or other high grade arrows, I can't see it happening.

    Anything Is possible, specially with carbon. When I bought my FMJ's the archery shop owner told me straight out If you start getting the same arrow that Is always missing on It's own, more then likely something has gone wrong with the carbon Inside the shaft and to quit using It. So far I haven't had any FMJ's from my 1st set of arrows do this and I've shot these allot and I've used them hard (stump shooting). I've only been shooting these FMJ's a little over a year now so we'll see what happens down the road.

    When I shot aluminum's (2216's) I never had Issue's either and again them arrows got used hard too.
