Muzzy,
I do shoot CXL's as Frank mentioned and I can say with 100% that they SUCK to pull out as well.
The trick with ANY carbon shaft in a foam 3D target is to have a point that is of a larger diameter than your shaft. The point plows a hole and prevents the friction which bonds the foam to your shaft.
"They" don't make one big enough in 75grs for my CXL 350's so I rely on Woody's Arrow lube. No lube and it's bust a gut central.

Get yourself some "Pig Points" or "Z-Points" or whatever some of the other styles are called......plus maybe some Woody's and you'll thank me.

As for 3D shafts? The Axis might be a bit heavy and SKINNY for a competitive 3D shaft. I do Like the CXL "Selects" and have had very good luck with them. The large diameter is a big plus with hitting those lines. I shoot the 350's thankfully because the 250's are very fragile shafts. I have seen a huge difference in durability between the 350 and 250 shafts. (I shot a CXL 350 through my garage wall unscathed....don't ask.)

If you simply want to shoot for fun.......just shoot your Axis and get the game time practice. Swap out the points and have at it.
