Will these fly good out of a 54#@27 one piece recurve. My actual draw is 26.5 but the bow is made to 27 inches. I was also wondering if I have to put brass inserts up front do they make them in such a small diameter? These axis are small!!! Please let me know....
-
Yep they make the brass inserts and now a brass tapered insert for glue on heads. They might work for that weight just start long and tune them in. Drew

400 would be the one I would try. A cheaper way to make sure is get some of the MFX Classic Bemans. Same dia, same weight, same spine, much lower cost.
-
Who makes the tapered inserts??
-
they are the best arrows out there you'll love em

I bent a 300 fmj when it zinged off the frozen ground and then stopped on a pipe corral panel.The bend was maybe 5-6 degrees at the back of a 3 rivers 100 gr. insert with a 200 gr. field pt.(20 yds and 63#'s) My question is did the carbon inside the aluminum likely crack?? I straightened the shaft and it now seems to rebend easily, so my guess is that she is ruined? Regular carbons will show a fracture compared to the fmj. Otherwise they are great.
-
I think maybe 500s would tune better at that wieght.

I shoot 500's in my blk widow 52#

I can shoot 400's on my 54 and 46# BW with my 27in draw but have to use the 100gr inserts, 125gr pts and cut them at 30in long to bare shaft correctly. I normally shoot the 500's at 28in length with same pt setup and they bare shaft perfectly as well. Just get some heavy inserts in a bare shaft and start out with a full length shaft and cut down from the nock end until they spine just slightly weak and you should be good. Mark

Yup 400s would be stiif unless left long and lots of weight up front. Shawn

I got the tapered inserts from 3Rivers

I have seen those brass inserts with broadhead adapters for 5/16" carbons but not for Axis/MFX smaller diameter.Do they make them for the Axis/MFX?

I am with Shawn i think you will have to load the tip up with lots of weight.I would think if your bow is not cut past center your looking at a 27.5 or 28 inch arrow with close to 400gr. up front.I shoot 29" axis .500s out of a r/d longbow 50#@28 cut to center with 225gr. up front.I do find that i shoot a less spine arrow that most of the post i read on the Gang.If you like the real heavy arrow cut long you could make them work but i would try the .500s.

thanks Drew, i found them its a new item for them
-
If you cut them long and load up the tip weight they should work. I shoot the same poundage as you as well as draw length and I use the 500's with a 100 gr. insert and a 100 gr. tip. My arrows are cut to 28"s. Hope this helps. BTW...I've never had a nicer flying arrow!
