    I like em at 310+fps plus they seem to be readily available and in stock. I like consistency.

    Easton DA Torch 330's with 75gr brass insert and 100gr Hypodermic. the brass gives it a great FOC, straightness is .001 and they are a smaller diameter shaft. So far ive had excellent results in all conditions out to 70yds.

    Easton Bloodline 400. I've been shooting these two seasons and never had an issue with pass-throughs but they are only about 390 finished. I think I want an arrow with a normal shaft size to make getting nocks easier and some more weight, so I may switch for next year.

    I use the CX Piledriver Pass Thru Extreme 350's (10.32gr/in).

    I like the half-out insert they have. Adds some weight to the front of the arrow improving FOC. Here's a quote from the CX website about the half-out insert...

    PTX HALF-OUT INSERT

    STRONG. SECURE. MORE KINETIC ENERGY.

    The PileDriver® Pass Thru Extreme features the new Carbon Express® PTX half-out insert. The PTX is designed for maximum strength, precision and knock-down power.

    STRONG: The PTX is made of carbon steel, which is 3 times stronger than traditional aluminum inserts. Because the PTX meets standard industry thread size, it fits traditional industry standard broadheads. Traditional broadheads are significantly stronger than broadheads designed to fit micro-diameter shafts.

    SECURE AND UNIVERSAL: The PTX half-out insert is machined from carbon steel, and the threads on the PTX are stronger than traditional aluminum inserts, so broadheads will stay securely in place upon impact. The PTX thread size is the industry standard 32 TPI (Threads Per Inch), and the PTX will work with any standard fixed and mechanical broadhead and field point.

    INCREASED KINETIC ENERGY: The carbon steel PTX weighs in at 44 grains. This delivers 4 times more kinetic energy than traditional aluminum inserts and 2 times more kinetic energy than traditional micro-diameter inserts. It also moves the weight forward on the arrow to increase arrow front-of-center (FOC) to aid in downrange accuracy.

    The Carbon Express® PTX half-out insert delivers maximum strength, is more secure and boosts kinetic energy for devastating PileDriver® Pass Thru Extreme penetration performance.
