Can't decide on an arrow

[PSD Ryan]

I'm trying to decide if I want the Easton Epics or the Easton FMJ's. I'm only going to be shooting hogs and white tail. I kind of like that the FMJs weigh more, so they should be quieter and penetrate better, but the Epics are cheaper. The other thing is just questions I have. The FMJ's are aluminum and carbon...can they bend like carbon arrows without staying bent like aluminum arrows? What about durability? Are the FMJ's durable or do they get dinged easy? I'm not really worried much about the cost. I want a solid durable arrow.

I can't answer your questions about the FMJ's, not having used them, but I have used the ST Epics for the past 3 years and have had nothing but great service from them.

FMJ, hands down!!!

Fmj's work great. And not as bad to keep straight as alot of people say. But there is a sale on the beman bone collector arrows right now on camofire.com. Which are the same arrows as the axis nano's.

Been reading a lot of negative reviews about FMJ durability. I can't afford to be replacing arrows all the time. Probably going to go just carbon. The Epic and the Axis N-Fused are exactly the same GPI and everything except the Axis has X nock, Epic has H nock, and the Axis has HIT insert and Epic has HP4. Is the HIT insert worth the extra $20?

I shoot epics and excels. Have only broke one excel. Missed a squirrel and went through my privacy fence. Can't tell a difference between the two. They group together. I shoot a mach x at 71lbs.

I shoot Easton axis n-fused carbon. Won't find a better arrow.

From my research, I can't afford to be shooting FMJ's. I can't buy a few dozen every year and only have a few left over at the end of the year. Even if it is a great hunting arrow. Anybody use one arrow for hunting and a cheaper arrow for practice? I could go this route. Otherwise I'll probably go between the epic and axis nfused.

Right now I'm using Redhead Carbon Fury's, and they suck. I only have a few left out of the dozen I bought. They crack at the nock real easy...just from shooting them a lot...not into each other.

I search Cabelas bargain cave for cheap pig arrows. I bought my last dozen of Beman's for less the $30. They were 65/80 and 400.

FMJ's

fmjs are awesome for hunting but you look at them wrong and they bend

I have both the axis and the epics. Both are good arrows and pretty durable but the only pain is finding H nocks for the epics if you need new ones or want lumanocks. The X nock is MUCH easier to find. Also the axis is smaller OD so you get better penatration.
