Default Piledriver???

Anyone know anyone or personally use the Carbon Express Piledrivers? Going off of the CE website and their charts I need the 450 Hunters. I am looking for some great knockdown power to take this bow elk hunting.. I am currently shootin 7595 Gold Tip XT's and would like to step up to these Piledrivers but I dont know anyone who shoots them. What do you guys think?

I shot the piledrivers for about half a year. They flew great and I was always breaking arrows while shooting because of their consistency. Now the bad news. I was always breaking them. I had one not quite make it through a turkey(big expandable) and somehow the turkey broke that arrow in half when it took off running. I now shoot GT Pro hunters 7595 and couldn't be happier. I haven't broke one yet and I have definitely put them to the test. I would say stick with Gold Tips unless you like broken arrows.

PileDrivers do seem to be a little brittle for some reason, If I were you I would go with the Aramid's. I have been shooting them for a couple years and they are really tough.
