RE: Are axis arrows worth it?
My take on them? They were touted to be the next step in "all-carbon" arrows but then interest in them seemed to fizzle out. I believe the reason was that folks figured out that they still suffered from much the same maladies as other all carbon arrows.
I am going to give the new Beman version of them a try this year just to see if they have improved upon the design at all from last year.
