After having a Beman hunter explode upon release I switched to gold tips.
In fairness that Beeman hunter might have been shot a hundred times before the failure? I'm not sure about the longevity of carbon arrows. I do flex them constantly now before shooting them.
Had it not been for the heavy carhart jacket I had on I think there might have been a serious injury to my forearm. It stung considerably with the heavy coat on.
The point and the fletching were both laying near the target, the length between them was splintered and I had small pieces of the arrow laying in the blind with me.
I cannot 100% fault the Beeman Arrow, it was the first time I had such an explosive failure. It did leave me with a bit of nervous anticipation releasing arrows for a while after that. Switching to Gold tips may have been more mentally comforting then necessary. I'll be sticking with gold tips now for the foreseeable future since the change though.

Ended up with some Black Eagle Rampage arrows. They look like arrows. Lol. I bought them fletched with Blazers.
I like the heavier inserts to give a bit of weight on the front. Going to run Slicktrick Vipers on them in a couple months for late elk.

I'm still shooting Carbon Express Piledrivers. I would not be hesitant to shoot any high quality arrow shaft as long as my finished weight is close to 425 grains. Speed is overrated, penetration is not.

Favorite arrow? A bloody one.;)
Preferably a carbon. (They are either straight or broken)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
