Safety or disposal of old carbon fibre archery arrows?
I have recently taken up archery again, and have some ten year old Easton ACC carbon arrows. Would these be safe to shoot? The kit has been stored in an attic in the UK. I know that the resin degrades over time and that carbon fibre splinters are really bad news, but I don't know what the time scale would be. Is there a way to check the arrows for integrity, other than actually firing them?
Alternatively, if I want to dispose of these what is the most appropriate way to do that?

Give each arrow a good flex and listen for cracking. If you hear cracking put the arrow down and make sure you mark it or better yet throw it out right away. It's dangerous business shooting damaged carbons.
