Like to try them sometime. Their weight kind of bothers me. I've also seen them forsale and a slow mover over at AT.Says tome othersdon't care much for them for some reason.Been holding offto hear why. Maybe this summer I'll find some to try at agood price.
They are as durable as anything I have shot, easy to remove from targets, heavy
, and accurate. I don't think you would be disappointed with them.

No complaints here. The weight is one of the main selling points with me though, I like heavy arrows. I've been shooting them for 2 years and have no complaints with them. No plans to change any time soon.

nodog, with the FMJ's I built weight was not going to be an issue as I was looking for a little heavier arrow than I normally shoot. I knew this was a short range setup and wanted and got 20%+ FOC. All that said they grouped excellent out to 45+ yards (that's as far as I shot them) I also killed my Nebraska Mulie with them at 36 yards.If I am looking for light weight arrows I use the ACC's or CX Maxima's

Thanks. I'm wondering about the drop of the arrow. I'm not all that good at judging distance. What kind of pin setup are you using with the FMJ? I was hopping to use the 400's, the bow's around 70 pounds with a 29.25" arrow. What do you think?

I'm shooting 400's at 27.5" with a broadhead and insert that weighs 225 grains out of a 60# Guardian. I am using the HHA Optimizer-Lite Ultra sight.I also always use a rangefinder. Like I said I knew this setup would be ashort range setup but I would still not be afraid to shoot itat 45+ yards. My Mulie Buck was at 36 yards

I'm shooting a 340, 70#'s and 28 inch shaft. I think the 400's would be soft as well.
I don't get much drop. Bought a new sight this year and went form .019 to .029 pins. With the bigger pins they were close to touching when I got it sighted in. Ialso shoot 125gr heads.

I figured the 340 but with the composite construction I thought it might go for the 400. You guys really like the weight. Since I shoot a 100grn. head the 400 still might cut it?

a 400 spine is a 400 spine regardless of what materials the arrows is made of.

I think you will find Eastons are very consistent in spine, won't argue about other brands but if they are spined and manufactured correctly a .400 spine should deflect.400
My FMJ's just hit lower than my CX Maximas, neither left nor right. I have shot 5 arrows of varying brands out of my Guardian and shot pretty decent groups. I was actually surprised, although it was at only 20 yards.
