[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2414355, member: 63925"] One of the overlooked aspects of shooting light spine arrows is the effect of hard oscillation of the shaft during each shot over time. This phenomenon can weaken an arrow shaft without you even knowing it. Constant pounding into the newer more dense 3D targets can add to the material stress as well. Flexing an arrow will only provide catastrophic indicator of failure if the arrow actually has obvious defect. Hard cams, low brace height bows can add to the stress of an arrow. Virtually every bow that I have helped someone out on that wasn't shooting worth a darn, was due to too light of spine on an arrow. These bows not only became accurate but also considerably quieter with stiffer spined arrow. You can find stiffer spine arrows that can still provide reasonable speed based upon their gr/in. If you choose to shoot fixed blade broadheads, stiffer spine will be your ticket to success as well. As for the HIT system, my son shoots FMJ and shoots right through shoulder blade without failure of the arrow. We found out the insert adhesive was most critical aspect of this system. [/QUOTE]
