RE: Easton Axis.....Worries?
If there are good ones and bad ones, which ones do you plan on buying???[

And, how will you know which ones you'll be buying???[:@]
One thing I would caution about if you decide to use these arrows. Be careful that your tips don't loosen up during practice shooting. On impact, the lateral tolerance could affect that portion of the shaft in front of the HIT insert and fatigue that area.
I am also not a big fan of such a design as HIT. While the insert may be 'attractive' as a new approach, I don't believe it to be as 'functional' as ones with a shank that protects the facia of the arrow.
My testing showed that it is a strong shaft; but, not as strong as it could have been by utilizing a standard design insert. As mentioned above, loose tips can cause other problems. Arrow to arrow weight is good, but batch to batch straightness leaves a LOT to be desired.
