When I refletched my arrows, I used acetone to remove some of the glue and some ran down the shaft (no more than 15 seconds before I wiped it off). Some of the paint by the logo/design dissolved but I figured it was fine.
I went to go shoot today and on my third shot my arrow looked real weird when it hit the target. When I went up to it it was dangling. My guess is that the acetone did something with the structural integrity of the carbon and caused it to split/crack. I check my arrows on the way back from the target but since this was the first round of shooting, I didn't.
This arrow probably had less 20 shots on it. I don't think it was caused by anything but the acetone. I'm not 100% sure I shot this arrow since I refletched them but I probably did.
It could have been bad for both me and the bow and I'm grateful nothing catastrophic happened. Just want to put it fresh in everyones minds so hopefully something bad can be avoided.
Also, I won't use acetone anymore. I tossed the doz arrows I just fletched up and I'm going to stick with my rampages for both of my bows.
