A little while back I asked you guys to decide what arrow to shoot out of my 04 Black Knight.

The majority came back and said the Axis

Well I got some 400's and boy am I impressed

First off I spun tested a dozen shafts found 3 that had a slight wobble in one end so Jason at the shop let me spin some others to find 3 that spun true

After I selected my dozen I had him cut 1" off the nock end then cut them to lenght 27.5" install the insert and fletch them for me as they are too skinny for my Arizona[:-].
I supplied the 4" Dura vanes.

After he was done cutting and fletching I weighted them and was surprised at the result.
I had 1 arrow that weighed 299.5 gr's one arrow that came in at 301.6 grs all the rest where 300 grs (minus field tips).

Now this is the firs time I have got a dozen arrows that came within 2 gr's throughout the dozen altho easton give a +/- 2grs which means a 4 gr spread.

After letting the glue for the inserts dry for 24 hours I decided to get the broad heads out and spin them, well all but 2 spun true but Easton also supply a little grinding block a couple of spins on the block I spun the B/H's again WOW they spun true now this is really is a FIRST a dozen arrows that not only weigh withing 2gr's but also spin true with broad heads.

I went out and shot them this afternoon total arrow weight of 399.5 to 401.6.

Upon shooting them I noticed that I did not have to move my 20yd pin from where I it was set for the Gold Tip 5575 xt's (374gr's).
Baked out to 30yds same thing did not have to move the pin now to 35 yds utho I have to move this one then onto 40 yds again I had to move the pin but not in the direction you are probably thinking.

I had to close the pin gap thats right close it these arrows are holding more down range speed that the GT's.

Then I went back to 20 shot an Axis then a GT done the same for 30,35 and 40.
The Axis are out penetrating the GT's by a 1/3 at all ranges and boy are they THUMPING into the Morrell bag

I honestly cant find a fault in these arra's and it is going to take an exceptional arrow to get me to change.

All in all I will give the Axis 400's 10 out of 10.

Now role on Sunday night I am heading to the lease to put them to the final test.
