I don't know guys, I'm not extremely worried about it. I was just wondering what might have caused it and if it were worth sending off to Easton to bother them with.

Tony, nobody else touches this bow. ;)Its locked in my room when I'm not around.

I would let Easton know. We have had some problems in the past, and they have always been wonderful to deal with about them.

Dan, I shot the FMJ's for just a short while when they came out and I quickly decided that they weren't nearly as durable as my standard Axis. Not that I play a lot of bumper arrows, but that's what made my decision. I sitll think they're a great arrow, I'd let easton know as well.

Looks more like a crease than a dent...anyone shooting bbguns into your targets? Is strange how it's seems to be right across from each other. Of course the penetration would be about the same, so may be something in target?

From looking at the pic, the first thing that I would say is STOP chewing your fingernails, it ain't healthy, with all kidding aside it looks like you may have hit something the way it is creased!!!!

I don't know much about the arrows. Someone said theyare delicate and dent easily, how tight is your quiver, or do you not store them in one?

I dunno, but I've had a couple unexplained "dents" in my ACC's of late as well. I assumed I hit something in the wall......You hit something for sure....somewhere. Those just don't dent on their own.
you guys, this is the reason that keeps me from shooting acc's or FMJ's. You can dent them. That's the problem. As long as there is aluminum in the core you can dent them. That's what sucks. If there is aluminum in the shaft it can be dented that's the long and short of it. That is the ONLY thing that keeps me from shooting them.
