easton FMJ arrows.. anyone use them?
been debating on my next arrow choice. have used axis for 2 years now. love them but want something a little heavier for penetration. esp since i will be doing a bear hunt and finances permitting i will also attempt a self guided elk hunt. so i wanted a heavier arrow. i already plan on shooting slick tricks. i was going to use bloodrunners but have heard mixed reviews, where as s.t are all praise and no bad reviews.
i am debating between aramid kv and the easton fmj.. both are around 140$ a dozen from my archery shop.
any information would be awesome

deadly combo
I shoot slick tricked FMJ's and it's a deadly combo.
I just don't feel the need to go carbon and check my arrows for cracks all the time.
The FMJ's are a little heavier but that get's compensated when you see the impact of these arrows, be it ribs or targets.
They might get dented but you can still shoot them afterwards.
Another good advantage is that they have a sblick surface and that makes pulling them out of rubber or foam targets easier.
My set up;
airborne 82nd at 57# and 28'
arrows weigh 435gr
speed 280fps
not that fast but lots of KE
