footing for axis 600
« on: June 04, 2019, 04:51:41 PM »
Hey gang, I currently shoot Axis with brass inserts out of all my bows. I shoot 600's out f my 3D bow and find they are more fragile than the 500 and 400. What size aluminum shaft will slide on those 600s for a good footing? Any sponsors willing to sell a couple of aluminum shafts? thanks also open to suggestions. I want to stay with 9/32 points if possible.

I believe a 1916 will work, I cut em at 2", and dremmel a chamfer on the edges, and glue them in place with gorilla glue.

Good luck!  I tried finding shaft size for footings on axis trad 340’s and 300’s.  I found a chart, ordered the correct size aluminums and they don’t fit.  I hope you find the correct info!!!!

Tom- that chart might have stated the sizes for axis black shafts. I believe the trads have a coating which makes them slightly bigger

You’re probably correct.  Making me a dummy with extra aluminum arrows

Of the people who used 1916 to foot their 600 carbons, who had success?  If so, were you satisfied with the results. If not why not?

I need to foot my 600’s bc mine split pretty easily. Thanks

1916 worked good, the difference in thickness of footing if your arrows are shorter is something to consider. i had to taper to keep rest and side plate in tact

1916s will work.  I chamfer front and back w rcbs case chamfer tool.  I glue on w big Jim's hot melt.  1.25 inch footings are what i use.
