hey way to go both of you! Had my first one last year before heading to Iraq. Use small diameter arrows so it didn't stick inside but split the shaft in half! And you are right it feels good but hurts at same time..... I had been putting close and knicking or busting knocks! Now I shoot at seperate spots on the bag! [8D][8D]

I can relate. Its cool, then you think,"crap, I just ruined another arrow".

See if you can identify this type of arrow, take close note of the type of nock it has. This is the only one I have keep. Since switching to carbons, I pull the good arrow out and keep using it.



These were the old gamegetters from the 80s with the tapered ends that the nock sliped over.
