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 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!
