Broken Carbon Arrow

[Bowhuntingboy]

I just arrowed a deer. When I found the deer the arrow had broken off. I found the arrow and got the broadhead out. We processed all the meat, much of it into hamburger. Just now I looked at the broken arrow closer. The broadhead and its insert were fully in tact and of course seperate from the arrow. The arrow was broken and missing about 3 inches. I hadn't noticed this. I didn't find any of the broken piece of arrow in the deer but would it be lethal to swallow frayed carbon from an arrow? I'm 99% sure there is no carbon fibers in the meat but if it was it would have gone through a grinder and it would be pretty small. Would it cut you up inside? Any thoughts?

The pieces were probably ripped out when you gutted the deer. You would probably be okay in my opinion anyway.

I think if it was in the meat you would know it. It probably fell out of the meat.

Yeah, I agree. I still think, just based on the shot and how the arrow went in that there would be a small chance that something could've snuck into the burger... the buck really beat that arrow apart.

Anyone remember that picture someone on this site had posted maybe a year ago... the brutal one where the arrow exploded as a guy released and all the fibers went into his hand. Anyone recall that picture? I don't think a guy would want to swallow them sharp little fibers. What do you think? Would they pass on through?

Sorry for the wierd post, I'm just a bit jumpy about eating my beef, and no guy wants that
