I can't complain about my Bemans. The ICS Hunters shoot really well out of my setup. This will be my 3rd season using them and I have no reason to change. I don't notice any difference in performance over the Gold Tips and Carbon Express arrows that I also have. They seem pretty durable to me. I have2 of them that passed through my old target and hit into a concrete wall with no noticable damage (except to the wall )or loss of performance. Been thinking about giving the new Max4 shafts a try.
