Ahhh a casualty! Sorry for your loss friend.

Also as PSA for other folks... Please remember that arrows like this are extremely dangerous to shoot. Shafts that are cracked, split, or splintered can shatter or explode at the bow and do some serious damage and injury.

Please inspect arrows often to look for signs of them breaking.

Oops! First of many I'm afraid. I completely screwed up today and killed two because there was a small 3D target in front of a stone wall, and I was too tired to focus properly ... one of them exploded the first 2" or so of the shaft, and has gone into the club's collection of broken arrows :-(

Because that's a small split you should be able to re-cut it and carry on using it, though :-)
