Anybody shoot Easton FMJ arrows?

[Gil Verwey]

Let me know what you think of Easton FMJ arrows if you use them for hunting.

Thanks
Gil

Gil,

I'd say 19 of the 20 best bowhunters I know use FMJs. Excellent arrow. I don't have time but if you search Full Metal Jacket I did a test that opened my eyes years ago.

X2 what Bisch and Steve said.....FMJ's are the best arrows I've used so far. Consistent and tough.

[Gil Verwey]

Thanks, I did a search and got all my questions answered. Looks like others had the same questions I did. I was confused by MM differences with the arrows.

Thanks again
Gil

I will second that!!

They are my favorite.  They just seam more accurate than simple carbons.

[Warden609]

Absolutely my favorite arrow. When I stopped shooting cedar I switched to FMJ arrows. I love them!!

[Pine]

I have wondered about them myself .
I really like cedar but I have looked at the FMJs .
Just havnt tried them yet .

[cacciatore]

I love them, great spine consistency. Best arrow in the market for hunting

I like Easton Hexx and AC Pro Hunters.

Love FMJ's

[bucknut]

They get awesome penetration and are very consistent in weight and spine.   I've shot em for years and love em!

I touched a FMJ for the first time this weekend.  I hadn't realized that they were so "skinny".  Looked like a great shaft, to me.

I love them. I have been using them for around 3 years when i don't shoot woods. They are strong and durable and hit with great penetration. You can't go wrong with them in my opinion.

Got these a while back from Gary Hall. Still haven't shot them! Lol

Nice to see helical shields fletched on them. I thought fletching them myself might be a problem since they are such a small diameter.

Thanks
Gil

PS - beautiful arrows.

[Wheels2]

The originals were 5 mm while the new ones are offered in a 6 mm diameter.
The 5 mm size required the use of the HIT inserts while the new 6 mm size allows the use of a standard RPS insert.  New ones are about a 19/6" diameter and allow for a bit more feather clearance.

If I were buying the shafts, I would go with the
6 mm size.

[Bowwild]

I use the skinnies and love them. One of the side benefits is the ease of taking off fletching to replace. I also love my Easton Axis Trads (I haven't hunted with them for 2 years though) but I always have trouble getting fletching off the shafts without skinning the outside.

As Bowwild said changing fletch is much easier compared to the axis trads, the protective wrap is not important.

The 5mm shafts are what I use, the smaller the diameter the better in my opinion.   It just makes tuning easier and helps with penetration.
