I don't unless it's been awhile since I've shot, or I hit something other than just the target ..... [&o]

Son in law used a set of my carbons saturday when we went to the indoor range, I checked them befor he used them, and checked them againwhen he gotdonebecause he was shooting a single dot target.

I check mine constantly while I shoot. Old habit.

Usually only if it got slapped in the target or hit something solid.

No I do not check often enough.Thanks to this post I will check tomorrow.If your arrow has say a Buff Tuff coating on it from CXit is real hard to find cracks.

I'll admit it... I don't inspect them probably as much as I should. I do however check them out after every shot on a 3D where people are slappin' arrows together.

if im shooting alone and dont hit anything other than my targets and arent shooting groups, i dont check. usually give them the ole flex test before and after shooting...

if i smack shafts or am close to it, i will check both arrows...same with 3d shoots..i check every shot there...

I look at them and give them a little twist, but not too hard, from time to time. If by chance one goes awry for some reason, like I hit the release or some stupid thing(it doesn't happen more than once a year) I check it real close.

I don't check them every shot... But I do try and check them often - maybe every 10 - 15 shots...

I've seen some pics of a local guy that had once break and go into his wrist... Did all types of nasty damage... [:'(] Kinda scared me...

Might be a dumb question but is it even possible for FMJs to do this being as they have an aluminum exterior and carbon interior? I would think not, but could be badly mistaken here.

I too, am or was, guilty of hardly ever checking my arrows. I always shoot individual spots and havent even entered my first 3d shoot yet.
