I used to shoot A/C/C's I've bent and broken more of those than any other arrow I've shot I think. They're durable, but NOT indestructable.

Although I haven't shot the maximas, I voted for them as I'm now more a fan of all carbon arrows.

Since nobody else has started the "but I shoot..." craze on this thread, I won't, but there is another ecSTra slim Easton "A" arrow I like much better than A/C/Cs
