No doubt that I will. But Im sure hes trying to wind down from the ATA show and not let me pick at his brain just yet.
I also want to kinda hear more what everyone thinks and what kind of experience people have had with them.

I shoot 340 fmj , and like them , but I am having a hard time getting the fletchings to stay on the  shaft after getting bumped around .They also bend easy if the point hits something , it is also hard to get a high FOC with a 100 grain head , they are also expensive.

Maybe I don't like them that much :chuckle:

Not a guru just half way now my way around a bow. Still have lots to learn. 

I can see the fmj being harder to get a good foc id think a brass insert would do it but total weight would be pretty high. The spine of the arrow is very uniform being alum/carbon, the only down fall I know is they would bend and like all alum arrows the spine changes over a shorter period do to the alum being flex under the shot pressure which weakens metal.

I put more then a few threw some animals. I love the weight but they bend just like aluminum arrows. So any little whack or skip and they are out of whack and time to throw in the trash.
