I got some Easton Axis arrows the other day. They have the hidden inserts. I'm sure I'm missing something, but for some reason my field tips and broadheads don't flush up when I screw them in. Is there something special I need to by to use these? It's probably obvious to some of you but I haven't had any experience with these yet. Thanks for your help.

I think their is some kind of bushing you can get or something like that, I would just look a the easton web site, that should have the answer.

call bowhunters superstore in pa and ask them for the Broadhead adapters for easton axis arrows. i use the easton axis 400's and i get the BAR 4 adapters, they fit fine and it gets the broadhead flush with the shaft. call them, tell them you need assistance, let them know what size axis you have, they should be knowledgeable enough to help you. if you have 400's, go with what is called BAR 4. good luck

The inserts aren't in all the way. They need to be redone. However they use epoxy on those arrows so they are no good unless you use somesort of spacer. I had the axis and didn't like them they seem to brake at the insert to easy.

exhuges2 is right that the inserts aren't in all the way. With the HIT inserts there is often a suction created when they are put into the shaft and so when you pull out the insert tool it can cause the insert to be vaccumed out even if just slightly.

ALSO with the HIT insert arrows (Primarily the AXIS) I have been noticing from some of the customers I have dealt with that because the field points or broadheads are flush with the shaft (when the inserts are installed correctly) there can be added force put onto the shaft at this contact point. This has led to splintering at the tip of the AXIS shafts.

That is just what I have noticed.

I have been shooting them for 4 year and never had one break. I shoot at least 3 times a week and have killed 5 deer with them all pass throughs. I have never used spacers. My field points and broadheads fit flush with the shaft. I think they are one of the best shafts on the market.

I switched from Carbon express maxima hunter arrows this season to the easton axis arrows...........what a mistake!!! Next season I will be getting a new dozen maxima hunter arrows again. My eastons splintered on two of my arrows already and they just dont seem as reliable and strong as the carbon express. Guess when you had the best arrows (maxima hunters) and then switch to a less than impressive arrow there is a big let down. Just my thoughts.

Hey can I have your old arrows now ? I'll pay for shipping! hahaha jk

I shoot axis 300's and love them. They are tough, cut through wind, and out penatrate all my buddies bow and arrow combinations.

montanaelkslayer...

did you have the broadhead collars on??
if you didnt the axis will obviously split because the blades will be pushed back into the shaft.

Any other reason to like the Carbon Express over the Easton Axis?
