Don't be fooled that just because they don't bend or kink they last longer. A "sprung" or fractured carbon arrow will explode upon release from your bow. They still need to be checked and flexed by hand before shooting. They will wear out and become higher risk as they age.
I did not believe this when it was told to me. ...... Until It happened!
I had a carbon arrow explode (I guess) on me a couple of years ago. Ten yard shot on a deer, and I really didn't know what happened until I found the broadhead w/adapter under where the buck was standing and arrow parts downrange. That said, I'll take carbon over aluminum all day long. I can't frickin' stand a bent arrow.
