Broken Arrows

[David XP]

I have had my Exomax for 3 weeks now and i target shoot every Saturday for a few hours and i have shot though one arrow (my bad) but i have had the tip eject from three others i find this unreasonable......I could be wrong does this happen often????is there a fix or are they warrantied?
I shoot into a black hole target,my Buddy has the same setup and he has never had the problem...

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Yesterday was shooting into a turkey decoy (stuffed with clothing)and had the tip break off just above the insert.
I think this happened due to we were using two fiber glass pole to stand it up and when it hit the decoy spun and that may have snapped the arrow

I've had several inserts come off my firebolts when shooting my vortex...none with my ibex, guess that extra 25lbs makes a difference!!

inserts coming out of arrows is part of bowhunting high speeds, sudden stops, glue break-down.. many things contribute to it. Buy some gorilla glue and re-do the inserts in your arrows if you want them to NEVER come apart again! The manufacturers must use a glue that makes it possible to remove inserts if you want to swap them out or tune 'em. problem is that you may lose some.

Breaking arrows or inserts coming out? Think it was firebolts they had a bad batch that the inserts were coming out. Had to remove them and reglue them.

Over past couple of seasons hunting i have had 6 break after hitting my game. Either they snap by animal running as they were passing thru or hit a rock and became several useless peices. I use gorilla glue don't lose any inserts while shooting targets.

I agree. I also have had this happen a few times when shooting my Exomax. That sudden stop is tough on lesser glues. I've pulled out a few arrows and left the field points and breadheads in the target.

A little dab of Gorilla Glue on the end any you'll never have to worry about the end coming out again. Of course you'll never be able to get it out either.

I had a lot of inserts coming out with GT II. I stick to Firebolts.

I've had bad luck with firebolts, one snapped in half on contact with my target and I've lost a few inserts too.
I use custom arrows now, same weight and length but a bit less expensive and have nit had a problem.

I've lost inserts from Firebolts on several occasions shooting from my Ibex. I didn't mind so much when it was a field point that went flying (although I still searched until I found them) but I was plenty ticked off when it was a Boltcutter that flew off. Who cares about the $10.00, I was worreid that I would not find it and that my one year old, or anyone else for that matter, might get hurt running barefoot by stepping on it. I searched with a buddy for about half an hour until we found it. Now I only target shoot my broadheads with an arrow that I have glued the insert into.

LAST WEEK 2 OUT OF 6 BAD INSERTS

Well, since this thread has been bumped back to the top: Loc-tite (thread locker) may hold the insert for a short while, but not an ideal glue for inserts.

Three failures shooting 3 bow:
1. Arrow disintegrated (in) 365 fps bow when plastic nock failed;
2. arrow went through TWO sides of metal hog wire, glanced off one tree and stuck into another;
3. removing an arrow that had penetrated very deep into very wet target. Likely cracked that one with pliers-type arrow
remover. That one had been shot quite a few times, glad it's out of the rotation.
