Do you shoot carbons?
« on: March 20, 2009, 07:08:00 PM »
Just wondering who shoots carbon arrows on here and which ones you shoot?  I am leaning toward the Beman MFX Classics.  What do you guys think about them?

Absolutely love them...Beman/Easton Axis fly great and are tough, paver brick tough!  :banghead:   Darn occasional target panic!

Do some searching on the topic...you'll find a bunch.

For the record the camo Axis is almost the same...weighs a touch less but fly the same and are cheaper if you look around.  **** has some good deals running if you look.  I just ordered a dozen for $65 delivered...Easton Axis 400 in AP camo.  The Beman Classics are going to be around $85 or more delivered…depending on where you get them.  I think the reason the Camo Axis are so cheap is they are 2007 stock since they went to the Nano shafts in 2008 they’re basically the same thing but tougher yet.

Easton from what I've been told and read make the Beman shafts.  I’ve also shot Beman Black Max shafts that use the HIT inserts and the Easton Axis black shafts, all fly well and are interchangeable IMHO.

I shoot the MFX and the Carbon Express 150's I like the smaller dia. MFX with a 100 grain insert gets more penetration .

Slim is in, go for AXIS or MFX or FMJs they kick. Far and away the best punch.

I have some heritage 250's, they fly really well but I'd rather shoot my footed hexshafts. I probably won't fletch up anymore carbons, nothing wrong with them, I just have to work too hard to like them.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

I prefer the regular ICS bemans or the plane black axis myself.Don't care for the rougher finish on the woodgrain arrows like the heritage if I can get smooth shafts instead.

CX H 150 and Beman MFX 400 work well, but mostly shoot wood.
