easton FMJ arrows

[wariner87]

Anyone here shoot these arrow? If so what's your experience with their performance?

[RadSav]

What is your definition of performance? 

Slow but flew straight for me.  Not the most stable of arrows, but easy to fletch and easy to tune.  Some have complained about the durability.  I can not figure out what they are talking about    I've killed a good number of rocks with them and never had to toss one yet.  Started out with a dozen for hunting and after three years and a number of animals I still have eleven.  After a dozen or so animals I went back to shooting A/C/C.  More a case of weight my bow likes than anything negative about the FMJ.  Well, that and I hate HIT

They're tough arrows, on the heavier side (a plus for my set up), and hit like a hammer. Overall, a solid hunting arrow. Like Radsav said, it's either FMJ's or ACC's in my opinion.

This will be my 3rd year using them.  Only damaged 2 with arrow to arrow contact at the range other than that still shooting my original ones.  Got a half dozen for my carry set this year.  I like them and they make my bow quieter than shooting my ICS.

Will the 300 spine be stiff enough for an 80# / 30" draw?

I assume 125 grain point.  May even want brass inserts.  What bow?  What arrow length?

I have shot them for a few years now, maybe close to five years.   Anyways I love them.  They fly great out of my bow.  Lojack said it best they are heavier but they hit like a hammer.

I used to have Goldtip Hunters and I had what I thought was a problem with those flexing and deflecting on impact with an animal.  Might have just been a fluke but twice on quartering away shots I had the gold tips come out farther back on the animal than where they entered.  Since switching to the FMJ I haven't seen that happen and the arrow seems to travel through on the path it was on at impact, no deflection or left turns once inside of the animal.

My bow is @ 84lbs and a 29" DL, I use the 300's with a 125 gr tip and they shoot great.

An Ugly bow and 84#!  Man, you need some counseling   Better take my wife with ya.  I think she is in need of some help too


Sorry, I haven't been able to pick on D-Rock for a few days.  I needed to get a fix...Bad!

[RadSav]

Bear is suppose to be sending me one of their new ugly bows in all black.  I've been thinking of shooting the FMJ's through it.  Thinking a quiver full of Diamond plate might distract ones vision from the blocks of unflattering squareness that makes it balance and shoot so dang good.  Haven't decided if the twisted car wreck with unfinished hubcaps is uglier or if the vented ping pong paddles are.  Both should be deadly shooting a well balanced FMJ.

Carbon spyder turbo 29" arrow

[yajsab]

I shot FMJ for several years now.  They are heavy but great for penetration.  I only damaged one arrow on a bear quartering away.  The arrow went through the heart and came out several inches from the chest.  The arrow got bent.  For elks, all pass-through undamaged.
