Where Can I Get Carbon Arrow Shafts CHEAP

Please give me your suggestions.
NEVER buy cheap carbon arrows for a compound bow. There are many photos on the 'net of people that had carbon fiber arrows splinter upon release and the fibers go into their forearm. Go to archerytalk dot com and ask there.
 
The only time you have problems with carbon arrows breaking is when they have a crack or you are shooing way to light of an arrow. Carbon arrows hold up really well.

I cant tell you how many arrows I have shot and been around while they were shot and I have only seen three break and they were all broke before they were shot.
 
Carbon Arrows

I've been shoting carbon arrows out of a high speed compound bow (High Country Brute Force) for years and haven't had a single problem. I've shot everything from the Beman carbon metal matrix arrows ($120/doz) to the cabela's carbon hunter arrows ($44.doz). The only difference I noticed during hunting situations is that it hurt a lot more when I lost on of the Beman arrows :(

The important thing is to buy shafts that are the correct weight for your bow, and don't shoot damaged arrows.
 
I have shot some pretty cheap arrows, but I usually go with what ever shoots out of my bow right now it is Carbon express maximas hunters, they are about 100-120 a dozen but they shoot good and work well for me.

Both of the above are the reason for me posting that image above.

I learned on "glass" shafts to inspect "by ear" for internal fractures you may not be able to see visually.

A tap against a tree trunk or wooden fence post can point out possible shaft fractures before you actually fire it.

In this case, the OP stated he is huntin' tree rats overhead...
because I lose a lot of arrows shooting up at squirrels.
With this mentioned, the risk of damage to shafts is heightened significantly over shooting on ground level in controlled shooting range conditions.

What tips are you using? Just a large diameter rubber "dum-dum" head? They are great and little to no meat damage.
