I made a switch last year from Gold Tips to Easton's Full Metal Jacket arrows. I was a big fan at first, but now not so sure. I experienced my first drawback today when i noticed an arrow I had been using for target practice was bent... and not just a little bit. I can't believe I didn't notice before. I did some reading tonight, and apparently it's a common thing. I have about 20 of these things, and who knows how many are bent. Guess I know what I"ll be doing after work tomorrow.. checking every single one.
