Hi TEAM? I couldn't find much when I searched. I probably used wrong search terms? Our of the carbon or fiberglass ARROWS that people have used, WHICH BRAND REALLY STOOD UP to shooting in tough conditions? Even "abusive" shooting? Back in the day, I tried to get info on Grizzly-Stiks but no joy? What can Y'ALL recommend?? BLESSED BE!

Look at my friends arrow embedded in a rock. That’s one of those GT Expeditions shot from a 65# bow.

I recall the old Herters farbenglass spiral wrapped glass arrows we're really tough. They were hell on the local rabbit populations when my cousin and I were kids. I don't recall ever breaking one. Eventually they were all lost though! They were made like the old Shakespeare glass fishing rods of the day.

Tinks Super Penetrator shaft or something like that. He developed them for dangerous game. I forget if they were carbon or glass arrows with wood dowels inside. keepem sharp

I have some Herters "farbenglass" shafts that are tough. A word of advice " put a blunt or field point over the end of your glass arrow, the type you would use on a wood arrow", they last longer and take more abuse.

These fly perfect from my RWH 49lbs. Shafts are 29 bop.

I have Microflite and Duroflite arrows that are pretty tough. The way to make them last longer is to use an oversize tip that is more difficult to mushroom into the shaft. I have some I've shot now for a couple years that have a broadhead adapter and then a 23/64 tip over it that's been through the mill.

All that said, you can and will break any arrow if you abuse it. All those carbons slithers you see on the 3D course were once arrows. I'm not as hard on them as some guys because my bows are in the mid 40 pound range. You go stumping with 60 pounds and you can mess up a bunch of arrows if you don't pick your shots wisely.

I don't know if one brand of carbon is much tougher than another, they are all composite material similar in their makeup to the old fiberglass shafts.

Thanks for the HELP FOLKS. I remember some of the old Herters stuff. I wish that I had gotten reply from Grizzly-Sticks. Maybe THEY were out hunting? Keep the info coming! BLESSED BE! Batman

I'll have to get some pictures of the arrows that I make out of solid fiberglass rods. You won't break or bend those at all.

Maybe some folks have good memories of the old fiberglass arrows but I found them fragile as compared to carbons and heavier. I'm referring to Microflight and Duraflight. They mushroomed, shattered when glancing off trees, and usually, you found them broken when you recovered your deer. I have a pile of old dead soldiers in the rafters. In this case, old is not better.
