We have them of the shop, they seem to be an OK arrow. There is nothing spectacular about them though that would make me want to get them. Personally I would rather get aluminums and save the $$$, or get a high quality carbon if I were to drop that kind of $$$.

Mine are some of the straightest arrows I've ever owned. I bought these that same time I got a dozen 2314 X7's for indoors and the FMJ's are as straight as the X7's. My FMJ 400's weigh 430 grains at 28 1/2 inches with 2 inch Blazers and 100 grain points. They shoot super!!!!!

IMHO, they aren't as good as the Axis. We did some testing and they didn't penetrate as well and seemed to break easier than the Axis. I'll stick w/ my A/C/C's.
