Good luck on getting Easton to tell you the id.I called and asked about the id of kinetic II's one time and was told they couldn't release that info because of other companies making bushings for them.Seems a bit rediculous because all they would have to do is measure one.

my grippers are "stretched out" a bit from having larger shafts in them.
Reminds me of a girl I knew in college...

I need help getting that subscription offer.
I can't seem to find that magazine in my area.
Is that a nationwide publication?

JeffB, Great information. I am planning on going with those shafts this year and am switching from mechanical to fixed blade and heard lots of good things about the razorback. I am torn between those and the Rocky Mountain Titanium 100's which I have also heard are VERY good and fly really straight. Do you or anyone else know how much difference the spinning heads of the Razorback would have as far as accuracy or KE as a result of the shafts continuing to spin once the animal is hit?
Thanks.

3 of the full length shafts had a bit of wobble on one end or the other...
Jeff, I've been following this thread with a great deal of interest. Unfortunately, your observation above knocks these Axis arrows out of my consideration. But I'm still interested in how they hold up over time and use. You never know... maybe... perhaps... someday they might get it through their thick skulls that not everyone gets to cut the bad stuff off their raw shafts and they'll start making the $#@! things straight all the way to the ends!

BB9,

I think you couldn't do any wrong with either head. I've shot the RM Ironheads & the Ti-100 (same design, just steel vs. titanium), and they are tough, accurate and scary sharp. I sent a few to Orion's Bow a few years ago, perhpas he will see this and jump in. He liked 'em so much I believe he ended up on the RM Advisory Staff

I've found the Razorback to be very accurate, pretty stout,and easy to re-sharpen. I have not taken any game with them yet however. I believe our own 5-Shot tested the revised versions and they did quite well. I'm not sure about all that hullabaloo about spinning inside the animal..the original Razorbacks also touted the same benefit, yet Thunderheads (which did not have the rotating blade catridge) drove them to extinction in the NAP line.

I purchased them because I like the "specs" of the head, and was witness to some very impressive longer range groups using them out of a bow that supposedly has horrible nock travel and shouldn't shoot them so well. Didn't seem to matter, even at 280 some-odd FPS. The Razorbacks yielded groups just as tight as the NAP Scorpions that were being tested too.
