quills not lasting
Is this normal after probably 30 to 50 shots? [img][/imghttps://i.postimg.cc/SK8PmJz1/IMG-1409.https://i.postimg.cc/SK8PmJz1/IMG-1409.jpg

Re: quills not lasting
That looks like a well used and abused arrow! Lol I’ve never seen an arrow do that even after 100 shots!

Re: quills not lasting
Absolutely not. What's the condition you are finding these arrows like this? Is this after it leaves the bow? After it hits the target? Is it making it to the target, or floundering through the air? Is the string doing this or is it impacting something else? Luminocks?
More details are needed, without knowing, it looks like a partially dryfired arrow

Re: quills not lasting
6 new quills came with my micro, and this is the 2nd. shooting into a block target and trying to be careful about pulling straight.

Are the breaking on impact to the target?Cardinalsfanforever wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 9:19 pm6 new quills came with my micro, and this is the 2nd. shooting into a block target and trying to be careful about pulling straight.

Re: quills not lasting
after the first one, and it was probably 20 or so shots before I noticed it, I started watching them after each shot.

Re: quills not lasting
guessing their breaking on impact. the first one didn't have lumenoks, but these do. also swhacker target head.

Re: quills not lasting
If they were breaking from the string, they likely wouldn't make it to the target with that damage.
Is there a possibility there is something solid in your target? Were both broken Arrow shot into the same spot on the target? Maybe a probe with a coat hanger to see if there is anything in there
I shot a block wall a couple weeks ago and the arrow was all blown out just like that one.

Re: quills not lasting
Are you hitting other arrows in tight groups, or do you have inserts stuck in the target? Something is causing this and I don’t think it’s arrow quality.

Re: quills not lasting
don't know of anything stuck in the target. they seem accurate. learned after my first excal, never shoot at the same dot. this target isn't shot up too bad yet. guess I'll continue with these bolts then shoot my executioners.
