First, are you lining your arrows up properly with the feathers... and guide feathers to the outside. One side should have a different color pattern if they are like mine.
Another suggestion would be to take your bad arrows to an archery shop and explain it to them. They might know more specifics about the set up you are using.
For target practice, I have shot the same arrows a hundred times without damage to the feathers. My problem is when the shaft gets damaged.
It might also be the amount of pressure your bow is set at depending on the type of arrows you are using.
