worth every penny. they are expensive, but i have the feeding buck, and i've shot it for years with field points, broadheads, and my neighbor wore it out today with a crossbow. no worse for the wear. i'm convinced if you don't leave them in direct sun for too long that they will last almost indefinitely, especially if you shoot it with mostly field points. i had one shot today that went through the leg and straight into the rebar post, pushed the insert into the arrow and smashed about 1/2" of the carbon arrow. pulled the arrow out and the hole closed up so tight i couldn't even find it a few minutes later.
