FMJ can blow up

[rehmeyer1977]

Pulled this out of the target

[PSD Ryan]

Crazy. Is the carbon part ok

[RealTreeHunter]

Looks like it cracked all the way through. I haven't had that happen to any of mine yet and hopefully they never do

[mchildress]

That is all I have been shooting the last few years with no problems.Any idea what it hit or caused that?

[Coach W]

ouch. Hit it with another arrow?

[Jon-Paul]

Here's one that hit the target and snapped in two

You are not supposed to shoot those steel targets with them, Jon Paul! JK

Does show they are not indestuctable.

[thebomb6_99]

I just think they are stronger than the average carbon. But they are not indestuctable

[HawgEnvy]

dang! Guess I won't be buying those.

[rem788]

Wow I havent seen that before. My buddy just switched from those because the aluminum was holding memory and all his arrows were wobbling in flight.

[TedStriker]

Better result than the alternative, if that were carbon we'd be seeing hospital pic of them digging carbon fibers out of his knuckles

[rehmeyer1977]

Looks like the carbon broke and the aluminum tried to hold. It sounded funny on the shot. I think it occurred because they penetrate to well. I am all ways pulling the out of the back stop. I feel very fortunate. I think I will be buying new arrows regularly from now on.

[Patton]

bummer..

[triffnix]

I also shot Axis FMJ 300 with my 55# recurve and i have to say that these shaft are very tough and penetrate very well!! but i also cracked some of these..
after i failed a deer target the arrow hit the frozen ground and after i pulled it out i saw that it cracket. there was the half brass insert left in the arrow, the other half, the point and a piece of shaft i never found..

now i switched to axis n fused because the FMJ were a bit too heavy for me (650grains) and i also love them but the n fused carbon isnt that tough

[Hawg Slayer 4]

That is good to know! As stated above I think that the carbon shattered and broke the aluminum
