    The easton axis arrows are some excellent shafts.

    I switched from Carbon Express to the Easton Bloodline arrows. They're around $8.50 a piece around here. I dont have any complaints on them. I bought a dozen and every one of them seem to be shooting great. They're my favortie arrow I have tried so far!

    I've heard good things about the FMJs. You also might want to try the Injexion line.

    I went to Easton Axis a couple years ago and have not had a complaint about them yet. They have been shooting great for me!

    I almost always shoot whatever is on sale. "best value". I will switch brands in a heartbeat if I feel I'm getting a better value. I'm not so much concerned with the price as I am the quality vs price. There are so many great arrows out there right now. I shoot Easton's, but last year I shot Cabela's brand. They did fine, but I spent more this year to get a better value. The year before that I shot Gold tips. Good luck in your search.

    I shoot cx pile drivers. at 267 fps there is still only about 3 or 4 inches of arrow sticking out the front of the target. and that is with an EXTREMELY water saturated bag target behind it that is hard as a rock. I have heard really good things about the entire easton line (minus the epic series, haven't heard much good about them but I haven't shot them for myself so i can't say). :bhod:

    Pretty tough to beat an Easton FMJ in my opinion. Only if shooting a slower, bone crushing, deep penetrating, and accurate shaft is your thing. Oh, made in America too.

    I switch from Carbon Express Mayhems to FMJ's. Didn't have a problem with the Carbon Express, but I feel like I am getting better pentration with the FMJ's. No issues with those!

    If I wanted a lightweight speed arrow, I would look at the da torch.

    Wish they offered the hp inserts in brass for those of us that like having a lot of weight up front. Strike that, just saw they do have brass inserts available. Might give them a look. But I really like the hit inserts for broadheads.
