Title: Thin diameter arrows - Easton St Axis?
Post by: Gil Verwey on November 30, 2010, 10:05:00 AM
Do the Easton ST Axis arrows have the thinnest diameter? If not which carbon arrow does?

Thanks
Gil

Gil,

Check the Easton website, but I am pretty sure there are some thinner ones including the ACCs.  I believe they are target driven, not hunting shafts if that matters.

Victory has some VAP (Victory Armor Piercing) that are smaller diameter than the Axis.  They are a hunting shaft. I have toyed with trying but just have not yet.

VAP lists the outside diameter but Beman and Easton do not. At least I couldn't find it anywhere on their sites. I sent a question to their Tech area.

I shot the easton axis arrows in .500 spine. A 1916 aluminum arrow fits very snuggly over the outside of this arrow, so if you can find the inside diameter of a 1916, that would give you a really close number for the outside diameter of an axis arrow.

Thanks Aaron. At least I now know I can use 1916 to foot them if I decide to do that.
