The most painful part was realizing how much that arrow probably cost.

Makes me shiver to see that AND makes me wonder if my arrows are all safe to shoot. No visible cracks but I have bounced them off each other target shooting. Length is all good.

Correct. Arrow breaks from an earlier crack/impact and the back half falls and gets pushed through your hand.

Picture is an oldy but makes me want to :puke: every time
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake

arrow too short for draw length maybe?  it looks like maybe they'd cut most of the shaft away at the clinic

That's why you should inspect your arrows once in awhile ...especially if it hits the dirt !!
