Recommendation for 600 spine carbon arrow?
« on: July 03, 2013, 06:17:00 PM »
I'm going to purchase soon some 600 spine shafts, had been using St Epics, but guess they don't make them anymore. Plan on using them at the Muzzy stump shoot, so they need to be a durable shaft, any suggestions?

thanks, larry

Larry, the new Axis Trads are pretty nice.

I have been shooting the 500s all spring. I haven't managed to destroy one yet.

For years I used Gold Tip Ultralight 600's, and recently started using VAP 600's.  The GT 600's are great. Are the VAP's that much greater to justify the extra price?  I dunno, the jury's still out on that one. I do know that my friends have a new source of humor at my expense whenever they pull my new skinny arrows out of a target. I suppose if it brings a little joy to their otherwise drab lives, it's got to be worth something.

I use the Easton Axis 600. Just the old black ones for a few years. I do foot them with 1 1/2" of a 1916 aluminum shaft. Haven't had one break yet. I also shot two deer last year with them.

thanks guys, been shooting axis 500's out of most of my bows for years, guess I never paid attention that they made a 600 also.

I used the Beman MFX Classics in 600 and 500. I know use the Axis Trads in 500. I think they come in 600s?  

I won't even consider another arrow. There is no item of bowhunting gear I use that I am more firmly attached to than the Axis Trads. I would shoot a different bow 100 times sooner than I'd change arrows. (Of course there are some here who know enough about my fickle tastes in bows to know a slight breeze can change my mind there!)

I loved the MFX but the Axis Trad has a much more durable finish. Both shafts were tough as nails though.

P.S. The only way Easton could get me to drop the Axis Trad is if they put a "Bone Collector" or "Crush" logo on them.

don't go down to 600, instead use beman ics bowhunter 500's - cheap, durable, light, fast, easy tuning - been using them for about 7 years now outta bow holding weights ranging from 43# to 57#, and 200-350 grains up front.
