Their cuation stems from the possibility that there may be carbon splinters in the wound channel due to the fact that the arrow broke. It's always a good idea to check for splinters on carbon arrows even if it didn't break into two pieces. It's kinda like eating fish, just watch out for the bones!! I wouldn't throw it away, just trim around the "channel" and dig in!

Exactly! The carbon will not hurt you or the meat in any way. It is like a chicken bone to a dog.

Most likely you shot it were there isn't any real meat anyway. If it's a shoulder hit, then just clean up the meat around the wound channel.
