[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1792177, member: 108148"] If you are cheap any of the gold tip hunter series are quality arrows, I shot very good groups with them for years never had any issue. I moved to easton 5mm fmj (maybe 6mm) several years ago both because I wanted a heavier set up for elk and because I just felt like trying something new. They are very good as well, capable of shooting very good groups while carrying a lot of energy. The aluminum jacket mitigates a lot of risk of arrow blow up if something goes wrong. They do cost more and catch a lot of flack for being more sensitive than non jacketed arrows. Realistically yes they are more sensitive but it's not very bad at all. I have never had a shaft hold a bend that did not hit the ground, I have had many shafts hit the ground that did not hold a bend. And most of those that hit the ground and were bent hit with a force that would have chipped or broken my old carbon arrows. I would strongly caution against any arrow requiring an outsert I've known several people to shot them constantly with great results only to get a batch that suddenly snaps on moderate impact. I know you didnt ask for my advice on broadheads but since that never stops me anyhow....Myself and my brother have stuck a lot of animals with spitfires with great results I cant endorse them enough.
