RE: Easton ST AXIS: VERY IMPRESSIVE
Don't know pricing yet for sure @ the shop. I had a gift certificate to use up, and was just writing down what I was taking on a ticket so the owner could close down the shop and get out to his stand. We'll square up later.
I do believe though that the bare shafts will run around the $85 dollar mark.
and yes, I'll be subbing to BowHunt America for four years. I saw the subscription "perk" last night

ARGGGHHHHH[:@]
I Hope Santa knows I've been good and brings me a digital camera for Xmas!
After moving my rest up a smidge, and adjusting my sight up a tad, I just shot a 1.5" group at 38 yards with the ST AXIS and Liberty []2 arrows are vying for the same impact hole. For me this is quite good, and especially so for a bow I've done little to no fine-tuning on!
I actually shot about 20-25 arrows (3 shot groups) from 25 to 38, and my largest group was 3" or so (punched the trigger). Most were an inch to an inch and a half. There's nothing wrong with these arrows right out of the gate!
Methinks I've found a winning combo![] I'm not touching a thing!
And yes, the offer is on the subscription card.

Ausie,
I'm sorry I missed your question re: the mag-nocks.
Unfortunately I'm totally unfamiliar w/ the mag-nocks other than concept.
If the actual mag-nock (and not the receiver on the string) pushes into the shaft like the nock on a Goldtip or other IC carbon then you will have a problem as the X-nock is a unique size... at least as far as I know. Len had stated he couldn't find any uni-bushings to fit them. I had suggested that X10 or A/C/E pins w/ the A/C/E nock may work to Len, but he did not have any in stock to try.

RE: Easton ST AXIS: VERY IMPRESSIVE
Wouldn't it be helpful if Easton just listed the I.D. of the shafts, and the O.D. of the various adaptors? I will have to see if I can find my dial caliper. It has to be around here somewhere![:@] Do you think calling or e-mailing Easton would turn up any helpful info? I just casually looked at a few field points and broadheads to see the size of the unthreaded part. Comparing that with the part of a G-nock that fits in the adaptor, I'd have to say that any aluminum adaptor to use G-nocks for these arrows would have to be pretty thin.
I tried to order an extra dozen nocks with my arrows, even though I haven't shot like Jeff B. is talking about for some time. No dice. No extras available right now. I guess I should be glad I'm not shooting like Jeff and his Liberty yet.

Joe.
I will try and email Easton to see if I can get an ID measurement.
But just incase I dont get an answer from them, see if you can find those calipers
That would be right no email contact on their web page[:'(]

For those wondering about field points, here ya go. Easton 17/64 size..

Ijimmy, I popped an Axis in my quiver. Not super tight, but one strip of fleece or what have you should be fine. Also, my grippers are "stretched out" a bit from having larger shafts in them.
