walks with a gimp

Ampa, I'm going to have to get something,, very soon also!! I'm down to 4 of these Gold Tips,,,,,, split nock ends, robinhoods and one arrow lost due to taking a very long shot at a 3D on a bet, and lost[:@] Just a little low though Maybe that's the problem, I need to shoot crooked arrows at 30 yards and under????[&:] Lots of good talk about the Axis has me leaning that way for 3D work.

WWAG--crooked arrows may be the answer!! Ha!
I too have been eyeing the Axis, read a few posts, Ausie Guy thread was quite encouraging and I'm on the edge of being converted!!
However, reminising on my Dad's advise--he had always told me not to change the things that work--change those that does not.
The thing is, my bow is set up with the NAP QT3000 and to date I've had no problems with it. Changing to the Axis could mean changing my rest as the diameter of the AXIS is so small it's going to be difficult trying to set the forks of the rest and using offset vanes--seems almost impossible.
Unless I install a 'launcher arm' but that may still not help.
Seems like only a drop away will work with the Axis arrows, more so if I wanted to use the NAP Quikspin vanes in the future.
What's your thoughts--guess you're already using a drop away?

The Axis and the quick spin fletches should be ok as long as you fletch the vanes straight

I am sure I have 1/2 a dozen or so not exactly straight allums here I could send ya so that should take care of the problem

Edit they are also good for shooting around corners

Nope, I have seen WWAG shoot...it definitely is the bow.....



I might look into getting a long axle to axle length bow again next year. After having shot shorties for the last few years it might offer up a bit of a change....for 3D that is....

SA.... who me???......

BTW, it wouldn't be my first BT

Ampa, yes there is one of my drop away rests on my neighbor's Pro 40. That's one of the reasons I'd like to try the Axis as I'm sure they will work with my rest. I understand not wanting to change what is working, I subscribe to the same theory most of the time myself especially when there's lots of money involved in 'trying" something new. The archery message boards are a dictionary of knowledge by regular guys like us that post their findings on new equipment. This takes away some of the fear of trying new stuff by sorting through opinions and thoughts first I'd like to see a robinhood with an Axis That would be a real feat!!!

I had the same problem with this bow at 20 yrds on the first 3 arrows. I was trying a friends bow that was a little short on the pull and still had arrows colliding. It must be a defect from the company!
