Default What Arrow Shaft to go with???

Hey guys

Just looking for opinions on what my next arrow should be currently I’m shooting Easton FMJ 340 and have had great success I really like the Small Diameter. Well it’s time to pick up a new dozen arrows and I'm looking at a couple options
Deep Six Full Metal Jacket is the Shaft I'm leaning towards
These are a couple others I’m looking at but not decided for sure.
Carbon Express Pile Driver
Gold Tip Velocity XT
Maxima Hunter KV

Since your looking at gold tip velocity. Black eagle Carnivors are a good one. When I spine check them I have found them to be more consistent in spine compared to the velocity's.

Plus there a light gpi. So if your into building high foc. These are the ones for that.

Out of the three you listed. Velocity's for me, but I build hfoc arrows.

I was thinking of going with the Deep six carbon injexion for 2016. I want the micro diameter shaft but have of heard issues with aluminium (FMG) losing their straightness after being shot a few times and missing your target. I am a high FOC arrow builder as well. Makes a huge difference with longer distances.

Default Carbon Express Mayhem

I just went with the Carbon express Mayhem. Came highly recommended at Jimbows Calgary. Wasn't his first choice but great value.

Fmj arrows are hard to beat. Plus you get the weight for penetration.

Only reason I don't use them is I build h-foc to e-foc arrows and fmj are not good for this.
