fyi... Easton epic, gold tip's and carbon express maxima's all break when elk role over on them :chuckle: :chuckle: I haven't had alot of pass through's, I would say mabe 10-15 percent. I usually find half the arrow in the elk.

I'm curious which arrows do not break when elk roll over on them? I too am looking at new arrows this year, I used silent stalkers from Cabelas for my last 3 animals, can't complain, but always think there's something much better!
bow-n-head:
you know gold tips ad says it's the toughest arrow out there, they claim it's the last arrow you will ever have to buy :chuckle: :chuckle: they haven't seen me shoot.

One more thing that I forgot to mention is that the paint on arrows can make them hard to get out of targets.
I bought some camo painted Easton Axis and they flew just fine and were a little heavier (depending on your application this can be good - I hunted with them and didn't mind that they were a few feet per second slower because I figured that it more than made up for it in kinetic energy). They flew straight and performed well, so no complaints from that standpoint. HOWEVER, the problem that I had was getting them back out of the target. Even putting the arrow lube on their didn't help all that much. At some of the 3d shoots with cheaper targets it took two of us to get them back out - not as much of an issue on high-quality targets, though. But for that reason I usually just stick to the plain, unpainted arrows now.
