    Not a fan of the Toxic's, specifically because of their ability to penetrate, but if you're looking for a heavy arrow Easton Deep six FMJ's at a 330 spine is 11.0 GPI or the Easton Axis, get a 300 Spine at 10.7 GPI and this allows for brass inserts allowing you to customize FOC.

    I shoot Pile Driver Extremes. 466gr with 100gr head or 492gr, depending on what I'm hunting.

    CX PileDrivers or Easton FMJ. I've shot both and had great success. The FMJ's are a little tougher, but both fly great.

    I've thought about getting some FMJ's but worry about them bending. I've heard some people say that they bend some what easy. Is this true?

    IMO the best heavy arrow out there is the Easton FMJ deep six arrow. Its 11.1 grains per inch and with the weight and micro-diameter dimensions it penetrates really well. My finished arrow weighs in at around 500 grains with a 100 grain tip and firenock outserts which I highly recommend.

    I enjoy the FMJ deep six also. been looking at the brass inserts or firenock outsert to increase FOC how do you like the firenock outsert?

    have some and saving for that big elk, moose, or bear hunt. With 100 grain broadheads weigh 498 grains with 15.78 FOC and with 150 grain broadhead it weighs 548 and 18.45 FOC. they are impressive arrows but too expensive for me to use on deer and hog.

    I use FMJ's that weigh 484 grains, I like 'em as much as my VAP's.
