How do these arrows hold up to stump shooting?

They are pretty tough. Of course if you foot them they are bomb proof. I did split the end on one but that was hitting a rock. I have no doubt that would have shattered my GT. I shot one through the handle of a metal rake up to the fletch. I was amazed it didn't damage the shaft.  Bill

Yes, footing them will save you a bunch. Have hit rebar head on and split the footing, bent the field point but no damage to shaft. Only one I ever broke was slapping the top of a large log. Arrow broke in middle.

I've been very impressed with them also.

I use these arrows. But I have never went stump shooting with them. I have killed a few deer and hit some rocks with them. My only complaint would be the finish tends to flake off

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I was doing a little shooting today and blew one up but I hit a big rock and I hit it about as solid as you can hit one, I don't know that any arrow would have made it through that one.
