Title: axis traditional
Post by: Dewey11 on October 28, 2012, 12:15:00 AM

Im going to switch to axis traditional when they come out and I have a few questions. First when tuning regular shafts I like to put a small piece of plastic wrap on insert and shoot it that way I can remove insert and cut length and re-install insert and shoot again and so forth until I find right length. Now my question is without using point weight only to tune how do u guys tune hit insert arrows? Is there a regular insert that fits them? Reason I dont want to tune with point weight is I am trying to find some grizzly broadheads (backordered everywhere...) and tune with arrow length.

A very small piece of saran wrap around the insert and the base of the field tip has worked for me.You "dont" need a alot to this.Once you have inserted it you can change field tip weights.Just use a soft target.I also use the easton broadhead rings on all axis shafts.

I just glue the inserts in with epoxy and cut the shaft down from the back when I'm tuning.  Much simpler than trying to remove inserts.
