Some weight different shape...

looks familiar Jeff!
Ive had a few break that exact same spot.... short range into a Rhinehart.
My diablos/quills/firebolts would do that at every range into the rhino block.

You shooting a bag or Rinehart? I did that to one or two Zombies as well.. I try limit my shots at 20yds to the minimum, then move to 40.

Shooting them in to my Rinehart 18-1. With the Micro 355.
In my basement 15 yards. I guess I need to move it outside for some long range shooting...

You should advise Black Eagle of this. I've never had an issue with 2 - 380's at even 10 yrds. Is there a chance they are getting damaged during removal from target? Are you using some sort of arrow pulling tool?

I am using the Dan Miller arrow pliers. The target is stopping them and they don't go through. No damage done when removing them.
I will be fletching more arrows tonight using the silent night fletching for long range testing and will see what happens....

I shoot my 18-1 all the time at 10 yards and less sometimes - never seen this happen and I'm shooting 380's at 410gr/366fps. Something wrong either with shafts or something else. Any lost field points in that target??? Have you got plastic nocks - if so are they flying out when shaft impacts target? The only other thing I can think of is you are crushing shafts somehow when removing with those pliers??? I've never used pliers to remove shafts myself. I would think that if this is a shaft issue then all the guys with 405's and 400's would be out of arrows by now and complaining big time as most use Rienhart targets to stop those beasts.
Im with jeff. I think its just hit or miss. my target is clean nothing in it. Mine were broken upon walking up to the target. Ive broken only one zombie this way now i think about it, and that shaft had 3 shots on it. ALL my diablos broke this way.
I think its just the sudden stop into a hard target and the shaft breaks as its stopping.
Maybe the higher poundage bows put the arrow deeper into it and less leverage on the back half hanging out as the arrow stops.

Wow, you guys better start shooting fish arrows out of those things! Did you mention the Diablos breaking to Excal? Shafts that break on impact of target not much good to anyone. Did any of these breaks happen with broadheads or just field point? I only shoot broadheads 99.8% of time.
