Gold Tip XT's..... Good price, consistent and tough as hell. Con for some..... You won't be buying new arrows every year unless you lose them.

I don't have them but a buddy shoots the FMJ's and they penetrate atlas 2 inches more than my axis. If swhacker made deep 6 I would shoot FMJ's.

I can only talk about the GT Hunters and FMJ's. Yes, FMJ's can bend if pulled out of the target wrong or if they are hit hard with other arrows, but both of these issues can be prevented very easily. GT's aren't bad, but I really had a tough time building them to the weight I wanted. FMJ's can bend, but I have some that I've been shooting for over 5 years that are still true. FMJ's are less likely to blow up at release and ruin your hand.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Beaman ICS Hunters ... I love to shoot them and I've never had a problem with them. But ... I hate it when I miss a long shot and they go into the woods ... can get really spensive ...
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...

I'm no longer a fan of the carbon express blues. I know a lot of people think highly of them and this is just my experience, but I've had three split at the nock end after shooting a deer. 2 complete pass throughs that didn't appear to hit anything and 1 I drilled the offside shoulder on. Not sure why I had bad luck, but won't be buying them again. I don't blame you. Sounds like some bad luck. I have only broke one and that was my fault. I have probably shot 10 deer with them. I had an experience similar to yours with the reds.

I have tried all those except the vaps. I didn't have very good consistency with the fmj. I shoot the maxima reds and the GT XT hunters pretty much the same. The CX are made in Korea are more expensive than the GT.

Gold Tip, all day. And if that doesn't work, go find a pointy stick, cause arrows won't work. I have 2 Gold Tip Kinetics that have gone through thick plywood (not paneling) multiple times and are still going strong, and 2 more that will be back in rotation as soon as i get more vanes for them (not attached well from the factory). I don't think you can find a tougher shaft.

The CX are made in Korea are more expensive than the GT. Well I just read where Gold Tips are made in Mexico. Didn't know that. Maybe it doesn't matter, I just thought they were American made. Oh well

I will be going heavier next time but will probably stay with the same arrow. what's your bow set up?
