I was out elk hunting yesterday and was stumping my way back up to the trail I took in.

I think i will be footing my carbon shafts now.  I hit the stump and it looked softer than the outcome shows. maybe it was was damaged from a previous impact and i didn't notice. Trad only shaft.

I stump shoot just about every morning, and my preferred stump shooting arrows are a GT 3555 with a judo and a GT 3555 with a plastic blunt. I don't foot them.   I usually am lucky enough to find enough lost 3555's around the range to use for my stumping arrows, so haven't had to use any new shafts in a long time.  When I shoot at a hard target, I use the plastic blunt, and when I shoot at a soft target, I use the judo.  I can get months of use out of them before they break, and they usually fracture from hitting the side of the shaft against something hard. The GT 3555's last a LOT longer than wooden or aluminum shafts, so I use them for my stumping even if I'm shooting wooden arrows at the targets.

What Terry said. I don't know of anything tougher. Just found one that has been out beyond my target for a few years laying in the woods.It works just fine.
