Default Easton FMJ's

Does anyone know who carries them? I have my own fletching jig just need to buy and cut the arrows.

Thanks

Martin or his guys helping him will have a booth at the sportsman show, I thinks 100 or something, he should have the shafts there.

For those that use them, have you had any issues with bent shafts? How durable are they regarding straightness?

I been buying mine from the Calgary archery center for about 4 years now. I like them for hunting. they are super straight, fly awesome and hit hard. Yes they do bend sometimes when you hit bone, or a rock. they may not be as forgiving as all carbon arrows if you bounce with off something. they are great for pulling out of 3D targets, smooth. they fly good in the wind too. i can get good two inch groups ,with broad heads ,at 40 yards.

The FMJ are amazing arrows. I had one pass clean through a black bear, bounce off the steel bait drum, and stick into a nearby tree. When I pulled it out she was still straight and went right back into the quiver. I got mine at Wolverine in Red Deer. They always seem to have them in stock. At 11.2gpi I know some guys don't like them for whitetails, but they seem quick enough for me.

I shoot 400s with a 100gr tip, when they hit it sounds like someone connecting with a baseball bat. I've had 2 go south on me, 1 I lost in snow found a month later and it was bowed (for obvious reasons) the other exploded when it passed through a foam target and connected with an I beam. They are awesome arrows, I thought about switching to the bloodlines for speed reasons, but decided to stick with the FMJ because of durability, plus I'm still shooting in the 280s fps with a 433gr arrow.
