Len,

Thank you for finally posting some of your findings regarding the Axis. I have been eagerly waiting ever since you first started dropping hints.

So, if I am understanding you correctly then if the consumer uses the glue supplied in the fashion that it is recommended then the HIT insert is as functional as a standard insert though the issue of loose points becomes more important...yes? Can you explain the reason for the latter part of my statement?

Second, if a standard insert or an outsert were used on an Axis shaft then what would your opinion of them be?

Personally, I tend to agree with you. Some of the "skinny" carbons that I used in the past with the outsert provided some excellent penetration and the durability was very good as well. It was always just a pain to get good fletching clearance with them......and I seem to remember some problems with the linear (vs. crossweave) fibers....comments?
