Easton Full Metal Jackets, what Fletchings?
« on: February 13, 2009, 04:47:23 PM »
I'm looking at ordering some new arrows, I've decided I like the Easton FMJ's but I've been thinking about all the new fletchings that are out there. I'm thinking of Blazers. These are 100% for hunting. What do you think?

Blazer no doubt, but why the FMJ? do you want the extra weight?

The reason for the extra weight is because I like to shoot big deer, need the extra penetration ability, not looking for one of those wimpy little westside dog deer.  :chuckle: :chuckle: Just kidding, don't really have a reason beside I've heard nothing but good things about them, same with the Blazers.

I switched to the axis FMJ year before last when they first came out and they shot really well, the problem I had was whenever they struck anything hard they shattered, even if they went threw a target first. I was not impressed.
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. You choose.
