lol.
Ok explain this to me.
I was just practicing with some new arrows,I got some new gold tips 55/75's and I was doing really good with them,But my arm was getting a bit tired,And I took one last shot which was way to high,Now this is the funny part,The arrow hit a tree and it snapped into(THE ARROW SNAPPED INTO NOT THE TREE)and it snapped at the butt end of the arrow,And I mean it looks like it was threaded by some wild beast.and the sound it made was like a gun shot when it snapped.lol.It hit dead on,why did it snap at the butt end?
Do 55/75's have that much more force behind them?

RE: lol.
carbon doesnt bend, it splinters. your arrow probably splintered. all carbons that hit something hard going reasonably fast have a chance of splintering. no, its the the force behind your arrow. its just the fact that its carbon.

RE: lol.
I've had a bunch of carbons, especially Easton Carbonaero Epics, snap about an inch in front of the fletchings on a hard hit. It happens.
They can do other tricks too. I smacked a GoldTip into the metal frame on the 80 yard target butt at our club's range one day. Went to pick it up and, other than missing the nock and having a flattened field point, the shaft looked fine. When I was checking it for cracks, I turned the nock end down. All the internal spiral wraps slid right out on the ground. Darnedest thing I've ever seen.[:-]
