Quality carbon arrows are a big part of the reason why archers today are so accurate. Carbon arrow durability, spine, weight tolerance and value of money is undeniable. And they also don’t take a bend like aluminium shafts, which is why they are nearly every archers first and only choice for arrows. But even these super tough arrows can be thumped around too much. The last thing you want is to have an arrow fail as you shoot – you risk dry-firing your bow and injuring yourself too. The trick is to “flex it before you shoot”, ie- give your arrow a good looking over and a decent flexing before you shoot it. Personally, I’m pretty lucky with my arrows.
