checking carbon arrows

[huntnfmly]

Hey everybody,
Just wondering how much you need to bend your carbon arrows to check them.I seen where i can get some ted nugent gold tips and love the way they look but been seeing alot of pics with arrows thru hands just curious what you all think?I may go to acc pros but those uncle ted arrows are sweet

if you think of how many people shoot carbon arrows and how many get arrows threw the hand there might be .0004% that get it done to them. i shoot and love goldtip arrows you won't be disapointed with them they are a little more weight because of the paint but only like .3-5 grains per " just flex them untill you get a good bend and thendo a circle motion and lisen for grinding. also a lot of people shoot way under spinned arrows and that is very bad trying to gain speed and get a arrow threw the hand

I think carp is right, most if the arrows through the arm are from being under spined. I have found with mine I really pay attention to stress lines they have shown up around the nock and around the tip. Just look at them everytime you shoot, you'll be fine.

I did a 3-D shoot this weekend and a buddy of mine smacked my arrow on one of the shots. I didn't think to check it because I clack my arrows together all the time and nothing ever comes of it. He tells me to flex it so I did and the shaft broke in half!  The arrow appeared to be fine and showed no signs of anything wrong with it until I put a bend in the shaft. It Kinda freaked me out and I'm really glad I didn't shoot it. It could have been a really bad weekend. I will be checking my arrows a lot more often from now on!
