I've shot the GT Kinetics for 3 or 4 years now. My only complaint with them was the relatively weak aluminum half outsert that comes with them. Shot as they are supplied, you'll bend a lot of them. I mostly remedied the problem by footing them with an 1 1/4" long piece of 2018. A glancing blow off of a rock could still  bend them, but they are much more durable that way. THEN, they introduced the GT Traditional Classic shaft earlier last year. I was lucky and got my hands on some early. They changed the outsert to stainless steel, increased the GPI of the shafts and added a wood grain finish to the exterior of the shaft. They use a similar point weight system as the original Traditional shafts, they are just smaller diameter to fit in the skinnier shaft. I loved them before, but am absolutely smitten with them now!

Buy the traditional model, it comes in 200 spine and the stainless insert, same arrow tougher insert and a full length wrap that looks like wood grain. They also sell a ballistic tip that will help keep the insert from bending.

I have 200's that are a couple years old.  Take standard hot inserts.  I footed them with aluminum arrow arrow shaft, but I don't remember the shaft size.  Did well on my water buffalo.

In my search for a super tough stiff arrow I bought a half dozen...had one fail right off the bat but I am not sure it wasn't because I got it too hot applying the outsert.
You can purchase individual shafts from Lancaster Archery( a true godsend for us tinkerers)....
Or you could buy FMJs and be done with it!
