I shoot the FMJ arrows (see sig) and I really like them. As far as target removal, that is a major plus with these arrows. As far as the durability comment, I've beat mine up pretty good as far as shooting them with a group of guys and banging arrows into each other in the target, and they have held up real well. I sunk one into a tree at a 3D shoot, and that one is fine as well. Axis are definitely a good arrow, but I'm sticking with the FMJs
