Anyone shoot the Easton Axis Traditional arrow. How do they hold up and how do they compare to the Gold Tip Traditional arrows. Looking for the pros and cons on these arrows. Thanks and have a great day

I have a dozen well 9 I lost three, that I have been shooting for 2 years. Weekly trips to the 3d range shooting at the house nightly. They hold up great. Put a wrap on them so refletching is easy.

i shot the regular easton axis i just switchedto gold tip. i like the tuneable nocks and inserts of the gold tips. i didnt like the axis was ruined after target practice. the carbon fiber lifted up behindthe point and therefore made the arrow unsafe.

How are the nocks or inserts not tunable on the axis. Mine after two years no lifting fibers.

I shoot the Axis and use to shoot the Goldtip. The Axis are great but don't like the fact I cant remove the insert like could on Goldtip. The Axis tunes great and penetrates deep. I second the wrap to make fletching easy. The finsih is not as durable as Goldtip and you get scrape marks when scraping off feathers.

Axis trads are great. 5.5 mm X. Gets your arrow closer to center a finished shaft no exposed carbon hit insert. Cons hard to pull out. For a little less money beman centershot's 6.0 H. Same finish rps insert. Both come with brass inserts which is an extra cost for gold tips. I personally prefer FMJ's for easy pull out and extra protection. Cameron

With the Goldtip nocks and inserts, you can screw in weight set screws to add weight, making them tunable. You cant do that with the Easton nocks and inserts...
I don't like the wood finish on any shaft. The GT shafts look cheap, and the Eaton Axis shafts end up too heavy for my liking. I love the Beman MX shafts, same shaft, just not wood grain finished and liter gpi. The FMJ's are nice, but a price increase makes other shafts look better. The Beman Nightfall shafts are te shafts I'm playing with now, and really liking.

Thanks for the info. Been shooting gold tip 1535's for a couple years and really like the arrows but need to go to a 3555 for one of my recurves. Think I may stay with the gold tips. Thanks and have a great day

I've been shooting Axis black shafts for a couple of years. Extremely tough and quite tunable, I think. I use hot melt glue. Easy to change 50, 75 and 100 grain brass inserts. Couple that with 75, 100 and 125 grain adaptors, and broad heads up to 250 grains, and you can create just about any weight and FOC arrow you want.
I've shot field tips into trees and one into my concrete basement wall and have not damaged the shaft, and this is without aluminum collars.
Have some Gold Tip traditionals as well. Also a very good shaft.
Obviously, the Axis shafts are skinnier, which aids penetration, which is why that's the shaft I most use, but either will work fine.

my skinny carbons where old and i shot them alot in to a bag target and its seems the bag fibers would catch the edge arrow and lift up the fiber. u cant really fine tune the axis and never had a complete pass thru on game. i think i will with the gold tips the fly really good.
