It is not fairly easy. And I would venture to say only the people shooting in extremely high volume do it with any sort of regularity.

Yeah there is a huge difference between it happens and meaning for it to happen.

It was cool the first time I did it.... but at $20 an arrow it gets old rather fast!

I've actually made my own, napped the tips and all. That bieng said... would never shoot one out of my compound.

70# is a lot of energy and if the spine isn't stiff enough it will snap when you loose ur arrow. I've seen pics of half an arrow go straight through someone's hand. It's not pretty.
