Default Carbon Arrows Question

In your opinion whats the better arrow for hunting? And why?
The Carbon Express Maxima or the Easton Axis
I have to by another dozen arrows, and have been shooting Carbon Express CX for years. I'm going to be changing broadheads and going to Blazer vanes as long as i'm getting differant arrows.
Thanks for your input!

I guess it all depends on what you want. Ive shot the axis arrows and liked them fine, personaly never shot maximas but have heard great things about them not including the cost "ouch". If I were shooting lower poundage and wanted the most penetration possible Id deffinetly shoot the axis, if penetration or moneywasnt an issue and I was a top level shooter that could possibly see a tad better grouping with the maximas Id shoot them.

What discernable difference could there be? That's the question as I see it. I mean, both are going to hit the target YOU aim at. Probably get a little more speed out of the CE's but is iteven measurable (comparing gpi).
Both are available with Blazers.

The big difference as I see it is the shaft diameter. The CE 250's are .289" and the comperable 400's Axis are .265. Not a lot, but enough to maybe sway a guys thinking. The narrower shaft might not match up well with your rest. I know (I use the Axis 400's) that the narrower shaft does not match up well with most broadheads. They are narrower than the broadhead "shoulders" which doesn't really matter 'till you pull them out of a target. So youmight look at your set up and see if the shaft diameter makes a difference.
I like the Axis for the hidden insert, adjustable X knocks, straightness, I shoot 27 1/2" so the shaft is pretty stiff.I use the same arrows for shooting 3-D and target night at the range too.
I'd put the savings in my pocket and spend it on some Slick Tricks!

Deffinetly agree with fame4lunch, minus the part about slick tricks. Put that saved money towards something worth shooting like G5 Strikers.
