FLASH! The October 2nd memorandum from NASP adopting the Carbon Express AMPED XS ARROW SHAFT, HAS BEEN RESCINDED due to a recent test that when one arrow hit another arrow shaft, the hit arrow splintered, which could be a hazard to students. The Easton 1820 will be the only arrow allowed to be used in the NASP program.
