RE: Hunting Arrows

Not yet, still havent beaten the daylights out of the dozen GoldTips I bought 2 years ago. But I am looking forward to getting some of them. What model are you talking about? Axis?

RE: Hunting Arrows

I have a dozen of the Axis with more on order.

So far they are the best carbon arrow I have had.

Very consistant in weight only a 2gr difference in the dozen and all 12 spun true with broad heads.

Wont know how they will perform under hunting situation for a while but in my testing so far I am very pleased with them.

Yep

Well so far they are holding more down range speed than the GT's, they are penetrating in the target by about a 1/3 more than the GT's at all distances from 20 to 40yds.

RE: Hunting Arrows

I believe the diameter is close to 17/64 or maybe 18/64. Either way, they are made a little heavier than most carbons. A combination of the two allows for better energy transfer from the bow and better penetration. They are advertised as .005 starightness, or .010 total runout. That doesn't chalk up to the .001 some think they need but maybe 100 people in the world can shoot well enough to tell the difference. With the small diameter one should probably use a drop-away rest but they should make a dandy hunting arrow and have mucho durability.
