Easton FMJ's
 

Anybody use em? Do you like them?Do you think they arebetter thanall carbon arrows? Are they worth the price? Thanks for any input.

I just got mine but they are very sharp lookingarrows and seem very durable. Time will tell but I dont regret paying the extra $$ for them. Alot of arrows such as ACCs are even more.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

I dont know but they look awesome. id like to get some for 3-d shoots.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

They are very nice looking. Just made some up today with white vanes and red feathers. Haven't shot them yet, but I did weigh them, WOW, close to490 grns with the vanes and 470 with the feathers. I haven't used an arrow that heavy for years. Don't know if I'll like that. Not the best at judging distance.

I used them some last year and they are a very nice arrow.

I used them all of last year for target and hunting. I think they are a great arrow and very durable. I may go to a slightly lighter arrow when my 82 nd. and all the goodies come in, just to see what kind of speed I can get out of a 60# bow.

My Airborne 82 at 60# 28" draw is pushing my 326 grain Maxima at 308 fps. I've been wondering what it will push my 497 grain FMJ's I may have to check that out.;)

I just started using them about a month ago. Compared to the regular ST Axis carbons, they are about 28 grains heavier per arrow. Seem to group very slightly better. And are noticably easier to pull out of a layered target.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

WOW! You are making it harder and harder to wait.;)

O.K. thread hijack over.

Roskoe touched on a very good point. They are a dream to pull out of 3-D targets compared to regular carbons. They tend to penetrate deeper in bag targets though.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

I'd like to get a dozen this year. I like the penetration potential for elk hunting. HOpefully won't have to change my setup much for these narrow pencil like arrows. I use ICS hunters right now which are larger in diameter

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

I have used them for almost two years now, they are a excellent arrow. They seem to be more durable than the regualarAXIS. I can't say how they compare to thenew AXISwith the N-Fused Carbon. I do thinkregarding durability they are equal to mostpure carbon arrows on the market today. I tested themout on someRock Chucks last year, and had anotherbow along set up with Gold Tips for comparison. IMO the FMJ's were a bit more durable than the GT's, but all arrowswill take a beating when it comes to solidrock.As far as accuracy they are very very accurate, more so then the bestall carbon arrow.I'll also secondthey penentrate very deep no matter what your shooting into. This is good for hunting but bad for targets, I have yet to find a target that can take a pounding the FMJ's can dish out.They do pull very nicely out of 3-D's and as already mentioned they are heavy, which IMO is good. For elk and other big game I prefer a heaver arrow over a light one. My Drenalin set at 70 pounds at 30" DL spits them out at 275 f/s. My 29" 340 FMJ arrows weight a total weight of 505 grains. Not to shabby IMO. I will say they are not for everyone, if you have a short draw lenght and are looking to get pure speed with a very light arrow, then the FMJ is not for you. But for anyone else not wanting super light arrow they are at the top. Bottom line FMJ's are a top of the line arrow thats hard to beat, their accuracy is second to none. Expensive yes, but so are other pure carbon top of the line arrows.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

I will probably try them for hunting when my short supply of A/C Superslims are used up since they no longer make the Slims.......big mistake in my opinion. The Slims are the best arrows I ever hunted with. Think I am going with ACC's for 3D this year.

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

i think im going to have to invest in some

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

Thanks for all the replys. I think im gonna try them for next year

RE: Easton FMJ's
 

I just shot the 2 I had made up. A liitle noisie on the draw but not to bad, quieter than a maxima by a long shot. Not to bad so far. Worth a look. I bought 6 for 50 bucks.
