My understanding is cf has no lateral strength and can break easily. No experience, so really dunno. :idunno: This is supposed to be especially true if the shaft gets even slightly damaged.
The way the shafts are wound and laminated, they are very tough. Especially frontal impacts which is why they make a great ramrod since most of the force is applied lengthwise in ramming the ball down and if you buy ones with a stiff spine such as a 320 spine, then they are quite strong even laterally.
I take a little lacquer thinner on a rag and wipe the printed Gold Tip label off and they look like a real wooden ramrod.
Here is what they look like: http://www.kustomkingarchery.com/B...rbon-Shafts-NEW-FOOTED-STYLE/productinfo/4880/#
