full metal jackets
I am thinking about getting some new arrows and i was wondering if anybody has the easton full metal jacket arrows? How do they shoot? I have a Z7 set at about 65lbs. Can you bend thoughs arrow being it is aluminum on the outside?

You can bend them, but they are a heck of a lot tougher than old aluminums. They are actually pretty hard to bend.
They are really good arrows imo and are worth the price. They will also likely make your bow quieter as they will be heavier.

I have been shooting FMJ's for the last three years and i have been extremely happy with the performance i have gotten. I have the 300 spine, left them about an inch longer than usual and put a 100gr. brass insert in. Total arrow weight came out to 608gr. I love this setup for whitetails because it is very forgiving and quiet. O yea and it hits them like a freight train!

Save your money and invest in XX 78 Super Slams. Lighter arrow and a good deal less expensive than the PMJ's. For the difference in price, you can go through quite a few 78's and still be ahead on cost. The 78's will seldom bend, but may have small fractures or totally break on impact with something other than the target. Best value for you money and if you hit the target, will last for years with little maintenance.
