They're actually pretty good. Don't shoot them out of a bow that isn't warranteed for it though. I shoot them out of my Iron Mace, and they rock. Don't believe the bad hype.

Finally broke my first one last night - misjudged a mini-javelina thingat around 40 yds (shot it for 30), stuck it in the leg and hit the metal post dead-center. Mushroomed the tip. User error.

Before that, I'd been shooting the same 3 arrows since summer started - no breaks/cracks/blowups. Probably close to 1000 shots.
