JeffB, I'm curious - you going to use a conventional rest even if you shoot Axis arrows?
Olink,

Heh..that's the kicker, isn't it! I have one or two more little tricks I wanna try w/ my drop-away before I totally abandon it (I meant to put that in my other post but neglected to do so).

But yes, AXIS shafts w/ full helical will be impossible to get to clear on a NAP 3000 or similar, especially w/ vanes.The AXIS size 400s are about the same diameter as a 3-39 so w/ an offset I could get them to work. However the real problem will be the X-nock. It flares out a bit and may cause a collision. If that's the case I'll just go back to my trusty A/C/Cs

However, I'm going to make sure I exhaust every avenue w/ the drop-away to give it a fair shake (moreso for the sake of the ST AXIS shafts, and not the rest), but so far it's future is not too bright [>:]
