Hex Heads won >:-(
Killed 2 arrows in one volley of six shots. Guess I'll just have to swap to field points and always use the foam target, or get some rubber blunts. lol

I had the same thing happen to some wood shafts and some Axis carbons.  I figured out my problem.  I was shooting to stiff of an arrow.  They were not hitting straight on at impact.  The hex head is one heck of a head but it will not forgive a glancing hit or bad flight of an arrow.  I always thought all this bare shaft business was hogwash.  Well, I have since had several glasses of hogwash.  Good luck on your situation.

I've shot hex heads on carbons for some time without any problems.

My aluminums w/hexes held up just fine yesterday, stumped with a friend for about an hour.

I don't dislike the hex heads, in fact I like em alot. I bet they would own a bunny or a squirrel. I just don't like them when they hit my arrows. lol

lol no. I have an old beat up foam target that I dangled  a tennis ball in front of, and I was shooting at that with my blunts on.

Got to agree with JC and Tree man, hex-heads aren't for shooting groups with.
