This will be my 4th season shooting them. I shoot the 300's and have been very happy with their performance. They are very durable, and heavy, which is why I like them. Also the smaller diameter means less drag when passing through an animal. I generally don't use the epoxy that comes with them for the inserts, opting instead for standard hot melt glue. I found that with the epoxy, any errant shot, whether target practicing or in the woods, will result in the arrow breaking just above the insert because the epoxy is unweilding. No one plans to miss or shoot into a tree or anything, but when it happens, with the hot melt, there is at least the chance of just pulling the insert out and salvaging the arrow.
