actually called kill'n stix!
my boy had 2 of them explode on release checked them for weight they were over 2gr/inch lighter than they were supposed to be. Im thinking they got wrapped with the wrong labels. Could be a very dangerous situation

Scary situation. Can't say I would buy them. Had a look at gem today and they are cheap Chinese junk. Basically the dollar store version of arrows that they have stuck there name on and marked up.

Sound like the arrows are as good as the TV show.

I would think that those pigeons giving an endorsement should command a mark down rather than a mark up even if the product is crap to begin with.

Kent Buckler was rather "crisp" answering questions on facebook when asking simple questions on the product. They claim they are high end arrows without any sort of info or testing to back it up yet they are asking the price of time proven quality arrow brands.

I'm not going to say they are junk cause I really don't know but I am sceptical on the quality vs pricing.

To the OP, sounds like a very dangerous situation I would contact the bone yard and see what they have to say. If possible try and conduct a spine test and see what they come in at.

I have heard they are made the same place as Goldtip arrows....but I do not know that to be a fact, only a rumor.

Could be a bad batch...wouldnt recommend shooting them...Beman had a batch like that..recalled them and replaced them...

If you had two already I would cease shooting them as there are enough impaled hand photos floating around already...

Contact manufactuer

They suck...... Each other together. Two 40yd robin hoods using those things and dam near a third one today. I bought a dozen at the sportsman show a couple weeks ago, went shooting three times and now I'm down to 8 arrows. Two robin hoods, one I just hit the back hard enough to split the arrow, and the fourth arrow broke at the front from the outsert twisting sideways from the "just about" Robin Hood. Talk about good KE though, this is the deepest Robin Hood I've shot, even though it was at 40yds and the tips are wider than the shaft diameter.
