Or get weak after alot of shots? I have a dozen Goldtip 5575 arrows. I have shot Six of them all year.(hundreds of shots each)... The other six were in my quiver for hunting..... Just this evening before Church, i pulled the six out of the quiver. & shot.... They were quite different. The older arrows were tuned with broadheads a couple weeks ago and the new with broadheads were not even close at 30 yards... maybe the spine weakens?....

I guess I can respond to my own thread......
I googled the same question & was actually surprised at the search results........ It seems that carbon arrows will lose spine after hundreds of shots..... Supposedly heat is generated as the arrow enters the target & fibres begin to break down.... Also the impact causes a little damage each time the arrow is shot (Smacking arrows off of each other dont help either)Hmmmmm... So I wonder if my arrows with 800 shots each are a little different than brand new ones... Who knows?

As long as they pass the flex test I would continue shooting them. I can vouch for the Gold Tip arrows. They are very tough.

Yep, they start to wear out and fly off the mark.

Yea the spine can break down. but the 5575 are a weak spine arrow. Unless your shooting low pounds with a short draw they might be a little on the weakside.

I still have many of different kinds that shoot well, getting a quiver full of the same kind gets more difficult with age. Might have a lot to do with how they are kept.
