Tungsten points will improve arrow grouping (higher FOC) but unless you're at something like good Master Bowman classification I'd save your money.

i think when you to get most out of your x10's you must buy tungsten points !
i know there exspensive but 1:they dont bent like the stainles steel ones 2: normally if you dont shoot at walls :icon_mrgr they will survive many dozen's of arrows you can use them over and over

I think it's a budget thing.
Remember they will last you many sets of X10s, so worth it that way.
However if you have a tendancy to lose arrows, you don't want to lose one of those.
End of the day, if you can't afford them, don't bother. I personally can't afford them so I use stainless, and I am Grand Master Level and honestly can't see them giving me the points I drop because FOC doesn't cost me points, aiming at the 9 costs me points.

My wife uses tungstuns because she's an Easton staff shooter. She has a few extra dozen from previous purchases, and they have gone through 3 sets of X10's. Worth it for her level.

When my wife shot at teh worlds in New York she rang me and mentioned in passing she lost a point in the target, about 2 minutes later I said "no wait, you lost a point? Did you cut it out of the butt?"
Luckily Easton replaced it for her.
