Thanks for the input. What about penetration farther out, say 40 to 60 yds compared to other arrows.

since they are usally heavyer they do have more penetration and the smaller die of the arrow also helps with this. they always did go a little deaper into the target than my goldtips.

In my experience any bad shot that actually resulted in a bent arrow would have damaged the carbon arrow to the point it would have been unshootable as well so I don't really factor that into whether I would buy the arrow.

I've shoot the 340 and 400.  I like the FMJ better than other brand I've shot before.  For my setup, I got complete pass thru @ 30 yards on elk.  So, I'll stick to them.  I haven't bent any arrow yet.

Thanks for all the input. Decided on Easton Axis N-Fused 340. Decided to stick with all carbon. So far so good they are shootind great out to 60 yds.

Once I moved to Easton Arrows I have never changed, they shoot fantastically!!!! Started with Axis now shoot N-Fused. My dad is shooting something else and every time he sees me shoot my bow he is amazed at how well they fly and the penetration I get compared to his arrows... And we shoot the exact same bow!

I have a lot of confidence the the Easton line of arrows  :IBCOOL:

Good luck and tune your bow well...

I like the FMJs but shoot the n-Fused now, as well.  Seem to be good arrows.

Our whole groupd shoots them with shuttle t locks on various bowtechs and limbsaver bows.

We recovered one two years ago that pased clean through an elk at 65 yards cutting right through an entry side rib and flew another 50+ yards.  They are tough.....we've cut many out of an old growth fir stump at camp when people missed their targets...no damage
