I shot them when the first came out, loved them. Very durable and the weight is great for a hunting shaft. They will dent, but it takes a hell of a whack to do it. The whacks that made dents would have broked a carbon arrow, so either way, I think the arrow would be shot regardless of what kind it is. I am going back to the FMJ now because I just liked them better than my Maxima Hunters. The small diameter is great and they pack a serious wallop at my DL and 300 spine that is 12.0 grains per pound.
