RE: Axis bent after use....
Can't say I've seen them bend from shooting although I'm not too thrilled with them right out of the box. At least the ones I've checked. Just one reason I won't shoot them.
On the other hand, these and any other carbon can take a bend if you twist them to remove them from 3D targets. It breaks down the bonding of the shaft near the point end. Usually within 3-4" from the end. Had this happen with ICS arrows a few years ago.
