I have arrow dynamics shafts. My original set-up tipped the scales at 615 grains, 11% FOC out of a 53 @ 29" recurve with a double bevel 2 blade head.
On all broadside chest shots or quartering chest shots where I didn't hit anything more than ribs I have had complete pass throughs with a significant amount of arrow buried in the dirt on the far side.
On a couple of hard hits where I had to get through muscle, cartalige, sternum etc. I buried the shaft to the feathers but did not always get an exit hole. The point just began to poke through. I recovered all the deer as they fell within 20 yards but I still want the hole....
My new set-up with the same shaft sports a total of 700 grains 21% FOC with a single bevel 3:1 head. The arrow does recover faster, seems to be more forgiving, and they do group better than with my original set-up.
I'm hoping with these modifications similar hard hits will produce an exit hole. Time will tell.
All I had to do was add more weight up front..no retuning was necessary. Not certain how the Axis shaft would behave. Hope this helps...
