Default RE: carbon express maximum hunter vs easton full metal jacket

I have been happy with the Easton FMJ so far. The small diameter penetrates very well. Themetal surface is slippery, and pulls out of layered foam targets pretty easy. Weight is about right for a hunting arrow - averagecomplete arrow comes out in the low 400's for weight. I was, however, a little surprised when a turkey was able to thrash around, with about 16" of arrow sticking out of his chest; and break off the arrow. Some other folks I know have had these arrows bend while inside of big game animals as well. But I suppose a regular carbon arrow would break under this much force anyway.
