I shot all carbon arrows for a number of years (a couple of different Easton types, and Carbontechs) without any problems. I also managed to lose a Carbon/Aluminium shaft, on a field which is generally okay for finding things with a metal detector. The key point is that it's normally easy to find any arrow which fetches up more or less where you expect it to be, but it's always difficult to find an arrow which heads off into the blue yonder.
I don't see carbon shafts as being a problem when shot by someone who's mostly hitting the target!
