shot one yesterday that was off and hit the fence... decided I'd better flex it.. bent it once it was fine, rotated bent it again and it snapped right in half.

Twist and Bend at the same time. Thats the best way to check.

I'm glad that video stopped where it did. That would be painful!

Good tip! I didn't start doing this regularly until recently. These posts help people be aware though. Made me start checking them!

I recently had a gold tip delaminate behind the label. You could not see any damage without flexing it.

I started doing it everytime I shoot, seeing a few of the "after" pics of guys who have had half an arrow go through their hand will remind you. Im paranoid now, I'll check each arrow before practicing and sometimes again if I hear it thump louder than normal...cant be too cautious.

How is this done. Any videos or good explanations out there.
