I went to order another set of arrows from my pro shop, and the guy said "wait untill I get back from the trade show, they might have something better".

When he came back, he showed me a cut out sample of the new Easton Axis arrow, with the HIT insert.

Is this arrow any better than the Excel"s I shoot right now?.

What's your opinon?

That is a hard question to answer. Only you would know with your particular set up. However, if you do decide to get the Eastons, check this offer out.

That magazine has also had a test conducted. The guy claims to have shot them into plywood , 2x4's , slate, and 2" slate........all out of a 75# bow.......and says there was no damage to the shafts !!

I have some on the way .........hopefully they are as tough and consistant as advertised !!

I have been shooting them for about 3 weeks now and so far, I'm very impressed. They seem to be much more consistant for me than my old Beman ICS's. The insert system is real cool. Broadhead spinning became a much easier task with these.

Its still too early to tell how they will hold up. So far, I've broke a couple nocks and slapped shafts with a lot of them. They've held up well. Like I said they seem very consistant and fly like darts.

The Axis is going to be a great hunting shaft but honestly it's not the shaft to end all shafts. I am thinking of giving them a try & I think they have a very clear market which is the bowhunter looking for a heavier all carbon shaft that yields the lowest friction for more penetration. The insert system is kind of cool but I don't see what all the hype is. I am more exccited by the other features. The shaft is very close to the old Easton Pultruted shafts of the early 90's only real change is the nock & the insert system.

Bowhunt America is a great magazine & Bill Krenz (the guy who did the test) is one of the top authorities on bowhunting, archery, and gear related issues. He has worked for Hoyt, Bear Jennings, and others!

He now owns Inside Archery Magazine (for dealers) & Bow hunt America if he says it is good I would take his word on it! He is also a very nice guy!

I'm sure that it applies in Canada also... it's just $400 canadian [>:]

I also heard that they have this new doinker that goes between the arrow and the point.. that way the head flops back and forth. I heard they're only offering these in Canada for some reason... [8D][8D]
