I just bought some Easton Full Metal Jackets. Was wondering if anyone has used them and maybe some thoughts on them. Also what arrows are yall using?

Good arrows. I was shooting them, but went back to Carbon Express, just they seem to shoot better for me.

I use Easton Flatline DOA, Easton ST Axis, and the Easton FMJ. I like all of them, but each has its own place for me.

i think ive shot just about every brand of arrow. liked most of them but the one brand i will never recommend or use ever again is gold tip. shot the fmj's for a while, liked them a lot they will punch through some game thats for sure. i went to blue streaks for now and i think ive found my arrow for life with them. light but weight forward weave makes them hit like a heavier arrow. good choice with the fmj's.

FMJ's are good. The down side is they have very limited FOC but they are heavy enough to carry a good amount of momentum. I am currently using GrizzlyStik Momentum U-FOC 65/80. They have enough weight to make things work when things go bad. Plus with a significant amount of FOC built in, above 17% FOC with a 100gr BH, they are durable and recover faster out of the bow.

I left FMJ because I was tired of spining them.. They will bend.. I started shooting Axis for the last two year.. Great arrow.. BUT i am now shooting the best arrow I have EVER shot.. EVER..
Muddy Outdoors Harvest Time Archery H1.. I just got them cut last week and I have never been in love with an arrow but these are amazing..
Small diameter.. Smaller than axis or FMJ.. Heavy like FMJ just its carbon.. My arrows are cut @ 27.5" and weight 466gr. with a 100gr tip.. I never wanted an arrow that heavy but im telling you at 40 yards I have 3" groups.. They are shooting 270fps out of a 70# Z7extreme, 29"dl..
THESE ARE AMAZING ARROWS.. KENITIC ENERGY IS 75.. WOW!
Highly recommend them!

Carbon Express Mayem. They are straight as an arrow. HAHAHAHA. Seriously though, they work really well for me.

Yea so far so good with the FMJ's once you get over the fact your shooting a 12$ arrow. (Bent one and got that out of my system, Went through plywood like butter though) now im shooting great with them. I think as someone said earlier they will help went its the worst possible situation and only amaze in the best.

I came to the conclusion that i will only use Carbon arrows. The FMJ's are great and very powerful but A: it adds more pressure shooting a 13$ arrow and B: they bend way to easy. i will be going back to carbon only just need to pick what ones.

You should really check out the Muddy Outdoors H-1.. Its a FMJ in carbon, but better!

I tried the FMJ's and they were pretty good. I switched back to the Carbon Express Piledrivers and absolutely love them.

I will say this and not trying to turn you away or feel bad about your purchase, but I bought some a while back and will tell you that after you hit a bag target they are bent. Not to the naked eye but after you shoot them a couple times spin test them and you will see that they bend very easily to the point you can't tune with them just after a couple shots!!

I love the weight of the fjm's, but as mentioned above you do have to keep in mind you will have to spin them for straightness. I really like the regular axis arrows, I have about a dozen of each

The Easton ACC also work well if you like the FMJ's.

I am an old school guy. I shoot Easton Game getter XX75 Alum. I Personally am not a fan of the FMJ. Great concept but not the best arrow for parts and accessories.

I just bought a bow about a month ago. I am shooting whitetail carbon arrows. They seems to be just fine for me. Have not yet shot an animal though. doing some pig hunting soon.
