I haven't split one cleanly like that. Busted lots of nocks though, and cracked the ends of several arrows. I dunno if it's the wraps or just not a clean enough hit, but the ones I've busted have never cracked more than an inch or so down the shaft. I'm thinking about getting pin nocks. It might be cool to split em but it wears off pretty quick. It isn't cheap that's for sure.
