If a one piece point is what you want they would be my preferred choice in Stainless. They are so good unless I was making something that required some unusual I would not choose anything else. The only change I would consider is Brass as some people prefer it.

Caveat

Make certain the points are within tolerance as far as diameter goes if you are shooting in a competition that has a maximum point size. Speak to your Local FITA/AA Judge. Ask Kevin (Longbowinfected) about such issues.
This not a comment on the product rather a comment on Archery Australia.

On the comment about FITA rules etc,

I've been using Top Hat points for about four years or so. They're great. And if you have the correct tools i.e. the shaft formers (compressors) assembly tool, and the shaft threaders, you won't even need glue. They also tend to go on nice and straight, unlike some taper fit points.

The FITA question, I think, comes from when I got pulled up at the State Indoor in either '09 or '10 (which Kev/Longbowinfected was also shooting at). The stainless Top Hat Bullet points in 125 grain that I was shooting turned out to be just over 9.4mm in diameter, so were technically illegal. From what I gather, this little piece of info made its way back to Top Hat headquarters in Germany and the points are now legal. Although don't quote me on this as I haven't really shot any FITA comps since then (thanks to target panic, plus tendonitis in both elbows), so haven't bothered measuring the points.

Hope that's of some help.
