I am looking at buying some new carbons.
What do you shoot and why? Stronger, smaller, faster, more penetration?
Someone shed some light on this for me
Opinions are like azzholes, eveyone's got one, and this just happens to be mine!

What makes the Axis so much better as far as penetration?
Are the Grim Reaper broadheads still the best mechanicals out?

Better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!
gogo said penetrates deeper and stiffer in the same sentence "huh huh" Now as to what I shoot is Gold Tip 5575 with 100gr. Thunderhead.
Yeah I better watch it before we get this post "wisely removed"
I seem to remember years ago a small diameter arrow made by Beeman that did not have an insert. Instead the broadhead clamped on to the outside of the arrow shaft. Do you remeber these? Are the Axis the same or do they accept an insert and regular screw in broadhead?

The downside that I don't like about the axis arrows is the fact that they have you put the insert in with apoxy. I haven't had inserts come out to often with hot glue on aluminum arrows, but since I was new to the axis arrows I decided to use the epoxy. I don't know how well that will turn out when i am trying to tune my broadheads. But the whole epoxy and insert process is easy.
GOGO-

What you are refering to is what was called an "outsert" where as the field tip and or broadhead would screw into this "outsert" which was glued to the outside of the arrow shaft. To answer your question the Easton axis uses what Easton is calling H.I.T. or Hidden Insert Technology seen here http://www.hitarrows.com/. They do take regular field tips and broadheads.

by the size of feild points I mean the diameter, not the threads. The threads are standard so any broadhead will work. You also did a broadhead ring adapter which brings the broadhead away from the arrow. There are universal ring adapters for $5.00 a dozen that I believe will fit but have not got a chance to try them yet. Or if you want we could split the cost cause I still need some but don't need a dozen of them.

There are broadheads made specifically made for arrows with H.I.T. here is an example.

Oh and the blade/ferrule cartridge rotates so you don't have to worry about tuning your broadhead.

beman ics hunter elites are our favorite..sell tons . some carbon arrows are so soft when it comes time to refletch some of the carbon comes off when you clean them. Ics's have been a standard around here for 5 years good quality arrow runs about 89.00 for a dozen fletched ready to go with inserts and cut to size. Try a beman ics 400 shaft for a 60# 29" you'll like it

You aren't a fan of taking advantage of the new technology offered in the archery world are you.

we will try all the new products when available but if we feel like it doesnt not cut it ..we wont use it. that doesnt mean we wont sell them if the customer wants it ( it is all about what the customer wants ) but we stick to what we feel to be the best. Everyone has an opinion just like on guns...or trucks...

What exactly was it you did not like about the H.I.T.? I would really like to know what the downside to a stiffer smaller diameter arrow would be.
Its ok, I still like you gog.

Buckey I don't care whether she likes me or not. I am just curious as to what it was exactly she did not like about the axis arrows. More to the point why good products get treated like the red headed step children of the archery industry due to the opinion of a sales person.

Will my Grim Reapers fit the Axis arrows or will I have to buy new broadheads? If it is the latter, does Grim Reaper make a mechanical that will fit? I really love these Grim Reaper mechanical broadheads and don't want to give them up! The worked flawlessly on five deer last year and four the year before, my opinion is that they work[;)][^]
