I've been contemplating going to TKO from Axis 300 for the lower gpi but wasn't sure on the durability. I've heard both sides that one is tougher than the other.

Was looking to get a little better FOC and a all around lighter arrow for flatter flight.Out of curiosity, why would you want a lower GPI?

good news is, anything is an upgrade from fmj's! so ya have lots of options, hahaLooking to upgrade my arrows and I’ve been shooting fmj’s for 10 years. My brother recommended victory rip tko’s. I’m a 60 yards or less shooter. Any thoughts?
I’d like to see a pic of that. I shoot something similar and would like to see the setup.
^^^^^^Nothing wrong with the FMJ.
HIT inserts that fit Axis shafts also fit Rampages. I don't run half outs on any .204 shaft.Shot the rampages for the last two years. Just switched to the easton axis. I think the axis will be an all around better arrow. Either will get the job done though. I like the insert on the axis better than the halfsert of the rampage. Also think the axis has slightly thicker walls. I put a 50 grain insert into the axis. Kept my foc at 12.6.
What collar do you run on these?Here is a pic of the RIP TKO with HIT and a small top hat. Excuse the dirty broadheads - pass thru on a couple deer.

Hey brother, would you mind sharing the info on your bow setup as well?I shot the RIP TKOs last year. Never did send one thru and elk but killed 23 whitetails with them (I do urban deer mgt) and was very impressed. Prior to the TKO I shot BE Spartans and they seemed to break more easily
IMO the RIp TKO are a good balance for GPI still giving you a light enough arrow so you can get higher FOC without getting really heavy. Mine are 250 spine, 28” C2C with 100 gr inserts and 125 head for TAW of 525 and 18% FOC.
Some mention not to go this route because you have to mess with half outserts. However the easton HITS fit perfectly which I use the 100 gr brass. I do add a small top hat collar to reinforce the front.
Hope that helps
