The other more recently had an all carbon explode and it went straight through his bow forearm and through the other side narrowly missing a main archery. His arm was a right mess and he can no long shoot compound as his bow arm is too weak!

The lessons I deduced from this were:

Dont underspine
Never shoot a carbon arrow showing any sign of damage
check the condition regularly (ideally after each time shot)
okaaaayyy, thats scary. what size triples arrows would u advise?
