Another shop picked this arrow shafts up on sale since there was no fiscal damage that could be seen on them,,, but after the law suit it was determined that the arrows substand damage in the fire. I'm not sure of all the details to this incident, but I'm sure there are those on this forum that remember what happened that day. The sad part of it was / is, that this archer person got seriously hurt.

Yikes.

Some were faulty maintenance, some faulty product, some bad design product, some had brain farts.
Double yikes. Ok, glasses. gotcha.
