Hey folks,

Wow, lotsa questions!

1) I have not shot them into anything hard for a durability test. They do use the Easton C2 construction process, which I have found pretty tough. Not the best for IC type arrows, but quite acceptable. The thicker wall diameter of the Axis should make them more durable than the “standard”C2 shafts. Perhaps I will try and destroy one for testing’s sake.

2) The shank of the field point and/or broadhead is a very good fit to the ID of the shaft, and basically provides the reinforcement due to lack of insert for the last ½” (appx) of shaft.

3) 9/32” Field points are just slightly oversized. I did not have a problem using them in my Morrell Eternity bag with inserts pulling out, but they do catch just a tad. At one time, Easton made screw in points in smaller diameters than 9/32 for A/C shafts. I suspect companies like PDP also make them. So far no problem, but I’ll look into seeing what I can find out in smaller diameter field points.

4) To help reinforcement of the point end, a Easton broadhead adapter ring will suffice if the metal to carbon contact is bothersome to the individual. IIRC my dealer said the 3-28 A/C/C size fits pretty good

5) I have not tested the spine consistency. I hope to be able to do that soon. Again though, I’ve had good experience w/ the other C2 shafting, and spine tolerances are not really an issue w/ Easton/Beman carbons in general IME. As far as their resilience to degradation over time? I think w/ the thicker walls they again should prove better over time, but I won’t know ‘til I’ve really put a ton of shots on them. I will say that group seem extremely good which would indicate good spine.

6) Jeff, I believe the IC biscuit “hole” (that just sounds repugnant )may prove to be too large in diameter for these. I’m not positive, but you may need to try a different rest setup. These are very small in diameter.

7) IJ: Quiver: No I have not tried. I do have a carbon gripper for my Bohning Lynx and will give that a try this evening. Generally though you can just cut small strips of neoprene or fleece sight window pad, and push them into the gripper with the arrow and it will allow for a snug fit (may take 2 or 3 strips on some grippers)

All for now..gotta run....
