It has split at the nock end about 2cm.  They cost me a lot of money from the US, so I am not happy.  I have noticed that the nock is not glued.  Could this cause a problem, maybe by slamming into the back of the arrow on impact?

It is my first day shooting them... Any advice greatfully recieved... I bought these arrows, because they were supposed to be a stronger alternative to cedar.  I did not mind spending 14 Euros if they were going to last twice as long...

To make matters worse, my cedar arrows shot better... even thought they are the incorrect spine...

ah....  There is a strong possibilty that it hit a stone.  The back-stop is a mound of soil and I saw some stones there...

So the nock collars make them a little stronger?  Thank you for the link...

I bought them from the US, because they were very fancy with lots of decoration.  Well it seem that it was my fault, I shall not write to the guy.

Even though I bare-shafted the arrows, I am a little irritated that my cheap cedar ones fly straight and these wobble in flight...

They are for my new hyrbid bow from J-bow in Finland.  I must review that bow here.

Dear Klaus and Roscho,

Thank you for your responses... I now have mint flovoured arrows... I think this new concept could catch on...

Its called "dental floss," by the way.  I am not sure why...

I will get some nock collars too, but am having trouble finding the correct page on Roscho's link to buy from..
Cheers

I had the same Problems ...

Changed my Nocks from standard GT Nock to the lighter GT Acculite Nock ... Its weight is only 2/3 of the original ...

Less mass in the back and no more damaged shafts are the result ... and they don't break like the original .

They are actually designed for compoundshooting but do work good ... as far as four serving on the string is fitted to the GT nock diameter .

Kind regards
