What is the "best" way to destroy an arrow? I manager to split one of my brand new GT Trads today. Never cool to lose arrows, but some ways are better than others.

Hang them on the wall of your trophy room. Very nice shooting.

Good shooting!

I've ruined some stump shooting with blunts and the impact drives the blunt back into the carbon shaft.

Good shooting., The first couple are fun, then they get annoying.
Relax,

Must admit that this was pure (bad) luck. But my shooting suddenly approved when I discovered that I was moving my head towards the string on anchoring. It was after that discovery this happened.

I like this method for destroying arrows, but you're method would be second best for me... Good shooting!!!!

Stripped off the fletching to check how far in the splitting went, and by cutting the shaft down from 32" to 29" it is crack free. So with a lighter insert and point, new fletching and nock the arrow can still be used.

If you don't want to BUY a lot of new arrows and or make them last a lot longer you might want to foot them, front and rear(I use 2117 2ich up front 1/4 rear)

It bites to lose an arrow, but it means you are shooting well!

Way to go,
