RE: Changing Arrows
Are you shooting a whisker biscuit rest? The correct size biscuit for the slim Axis FMJ is going to be too tight for the fatter Gold Tip. It could also be a problem with a drop away; where the Gold Tip sits higher on the bow shelf and creates a tuning problem?
I have broken an AxisFMJ as well. A big tom turkey decided that an arrow sticking out his backside about 20" was intolerable, and bent/broke the shaft thrashing around. I'm surethis amount of forcewould have broken any carbon shaft as well.
You could also try the regular Nano Axis if a toughall carbon arrow is desired. I shoot both, and they fly just like the Axis FMJ. About a dollar an arrow cheaper too.
