Has any one had any problems with these ? I worry about them bending because they are partially aluminum. Any comments welcome.[:@]

Hit things that were not designed to be shot into and they will both bend and break. Just like any other arrow. A fiberglass fishing arrow is really about the only thing that is going to tolerate a lot of abuse.

Have been shooting them for 8-9 months and happpy so far. I haven't bent any. Have broken three and lost one. No more or less durable than any arrow that I have shot.

I think they are as good as any high end aluminum or carbon. All it does by combining the two is make a little more durable aluminum arrow, and not gonna get splittering out of the carbon.

Best hunting arrow I've ever used. I've been shooting them for two years and only bent one of them. They are a very heavy arrow and will slow your bow speed down somewhat depending on the bow you shoot. Small diameter and plenty of KE to pass through any North American animal. Give em a try.

I love mine. Although I havent hunted with them yet, I can only imagine how well these arrows will penetrate. I was shooting CX Maxima Hunters which were 67 grains lighter, 18 fps faster (in my bow), and slightly larger diameter. When my FMJ arrows hit the target, they hit the target significantly harder than the lighter arrows.

They flight great....but no better than the Maxima Hunters. The heavier weight makes them rather quiet also. I cant wait to hunt with them and see what they do on a deer.

I hunted with them last year and they were devastating to the deer. I was shooting them at 575 grains and man they penetrated well. I picked up 25 fps with Maxima hunters, so I made the switch, but I Still have the FMJs in the stable too.

I just bought a dozen shafts this spring. They shoot well, hit the target hard but are just a little slower than my old arrows. I think they are keepers, can't wait to hunt with them.

They won't bend, they will break if stressed to hard, The aluminum outside is a very thin cover. They sure pullout of a target nicely.
