New spine to be released.... Axis ST in 600

[Fishnhunt]

Some of y'all might already know this but Easton is releasing an Axis ST skinny arrow in 600 spine.  I spoke w/ an easton employee over the phone who told me the 600 spined Axis ST's should be avail at dealers within 2 weeks. This might be just the ticket for lower poundage bows. I have no idea what the grains per inch will be but I am interested.

good luck and happy hunting

wasn't there already a 600 spine

[Jwilliam]

They already had a 600 spine. But it wasn't in the skinny Axis style shafts.

Beman also has a 600 spine listed on their website in their MFX Classic woodgrain.

[Fishnhunt]

JRY, wow you are right. And the MFX Classics appear to come with the break-off brass inserts included.

[ryan brodrick]

thats great news. any idea what the stock length is going to be?

  I think they need to make all of there arrows in a 600spine.

600spine lightspeeds/flatlines would be nice!

[Fishnhunt]

Okay I got some additional specs on the Axis ST 600s:  GPI is 7.2 and stock length is 30.5

The availability dates I listed previously were incorrect........Easton isn't going to begin shipping them until mid december.

What is the actual spine.  Carbons are loosely spined for sale.  A 600 spine could be anywhere from .600 to .699 for the actual spine before leaving the factory.  Surely they can tell us if it is a .630 or a .655 at 28", or whatever.  It would simplify the spine tolerance so a person could know ahead of time what point weight, etc., would work well.

George,

One thing Easton is not known for is sloppy tolerances. A 600 spine Easton (or Beman) is .600. That's what the number means. If they say the shafts are .600 spine, then that's what they will be.

[George D. Stout]

That's good to know Jason, maybe I'll pick up a few of them to test..then I can spine them to check.  I've heard of varying spines within a dozen, from various competitors.

For a carbon 0.600" deflection, would that be around 52 - 53 pounds (going with the old AMO measuring)?

Yes, exactly right.

"Yes, exactly right."

Which makes you laugh when you look at others who show only a 35/55 or 45/60 on stiffer spined arrows.

Oh well....I'll believe they are .600 when I spine check them.  I know Easton's reputation with aluminum is solid and always has been.  I hope Jason is correct, but I would like to know for sure.

I tested some 55/75's with my AMO tester,
they all came in around 72 pounds static spine.
But that was just that one batch.
Sorry I just started a sentence with a preposition    

Guess one just has to buy, and flight test, and experiment with lengths
and pile weights. I'd say what's critical is that a dozen whatever
match in spine and grain weight, within a few pounds and +/- 5 grains.
