Skinny carbons and field tips
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:11:00 AM »
I have always shot wood and aluminum arrows. I recently decided to try Bemon MFX 500 carbons.
The field tips on my aluminums are larger in diameter than the carbons, making it difficult to pull out of targets.
Do they make smaller diameter field tips to use with the skinny shafts?

Yes, you can get smaller field pts from Kustom King, I think you need 9/32" for the MFX shafts

If you foot your carbons with aluminum, the filed tips will be perfect. Just another option.

MFX and all Axis arrows take a 17/64'' field tip.

Easton standard shafts take 9/32''

I believe the 9/32 field points are only in 125 and 145 grain. I use chamfered 200 grain point in my axis and they come out of the target ok.
