Ya see, that's what happens when your groups are to tight. Myself, I keep my groups loose so as to avoid arrow damage ;D

25 yds. And yes, these are NOT wood arrows. I got tired of breaking wood arrows, so tried these Carbon ones.
I'm pretty new to this, so what kind of wood arrows don't explode when you miss the target?

If you miss the target with one of those carbons, it'll explode too!  8)

"so what kind of wood arrows don't explode when you miss the target?", maybe the solution is a 'softer' background  >:D >:D >:D

I've just started rendezvous primitive shoots, so,the backgrounds are mostly desert. So far I've broken over a dozen wood arrows, and this is the only carbon one! I like the way the wood arrows shoot, but unless I can find some that don't explode, I've decided to shoot these Heritage arrows.
Guide me to the right wooden ones....... Please!!!!

I haven't been able to break any cane or bamboo.  That stuff is crazy tough!  Use it and you will never go back

I keep hearing everyone talk about Port Orford Cedar.  How easily do those break?
Where do you get cane and bamboo arrows.
Haven't venture into making arrows yet.

Port Orford is very light, makes for a very fast arrow.  It also tends to shatter if it hits something hard. 

You can get started making arrows fairly inexpensively with dowel rods from Lowe's Hardware and glue on tips and feathers from 3 Rivers Archery.  Check out Backyard Bowyer on YouTube for a lot of good help on making arrows and bows.  5/16" Poplar dowel rods make a tough arrow.  Just make sure to pick out the ones with the straightest grain.

There is a lot of good information on this website and in the Primitive Archer magazine.  Browse the site and pickup knowledge.
