Title: Anybody hunt with the Fred Eichler Axis ST 500's?
Post by: threeunder on February 25, 2012, 10:09:00 PM
30" 500's with 150 gr. BH out of my #45 @ 28 Barta bow fly beautifully (my draw is 28.5").  Was wondering if this arrow is heavy enough for whitetails.
Thoughts?

Definatley. If you have good arrow flight go for it. If you are worried about pentration you could always add some weight up front.

It's all my wife uses out of her 45# @ 26" recurve. She has no problems with deer or bear.

Absloutely. I shoot Axis 500s with a 145 gr Woodsman. No problems at all on deer!

Ditto - definitely potent enough for deer....

Shoot straight, Shinken
