They look pretty nice and will be offered down to a 600 spine. Now if I could just get carbons to fly as good as my aluminum's :D

Oh lord. There goes 140 bucks. Thanks jerk. Lol
They look nice. Anyody selling them yet? GPI?
I feel your pain Husky! :eek:
I just noticed the release on Facebook and thought I would share it here. 3 Rivers will have them soon I bet, they posted it on FB too. I imagine the weight will be the same as the Camo Axis.

Darn...Darn...Darn!!!
This is going to cost me money!
Hey Jason...400's fly great out of my 60" Kanati. :goldtooth:
Thanks,
Josh
Now if they'd just come out with a run of Autumn Orange we'd be all set!
Thanks,
Josh
But you pull more weight and further back than me Josh, even 500's seem a little stiff for 50# @ 28". Time to add more tip weight!
Oh boy this is a treat I love those Axis arrows!
Those look like some great arrows!
Glad Christmas is coming!!!!
My wife is getting ready to start shooting again, she will be pulling about 30 to 35 at about 29, i wonder if the 600 will work for her, she likes perdy things :saywhat:
looks nice..I will stick with my Bemans MFX or regular Axis shafts..LOL
Are they 18/64ths OD? Or 20/64ths
According to Fred Eichler's FB page they won't be released until January. Which is probably a good thing for me atleast since I need to pay for Christmas presents. LOL
Staci was fortunate enough to get to try these arrows. She was shooting the 600's out of her Stalker Recurve.
We tried to add a "crimson crest", but no luck so far.

Tuning the new shafts.

So far so good.

Awesome! Are they going to be heavier gpi like the mfx?

Would you mind telling me the spcs of her bow, thank you?
I saw the notice on Fred's and Easton's FB page today. I love the looks of them and just my luck too, I ordered another dozen of Traditional Only arrows for my Black Widow the other day. All in all though, I'm extremely pleased with the Traditional Only arrows from 3 Rivers...the 5/16 diameter and S-Nock are great. Plus, they fly like darts!
It's interesting the release date will be in January...wonder if they will be available from someone at KZOO? :)
Nice looking shafts. I'm sure there will be a dozne ordered to my residence soon enough!
Lucas,
The OD is just slightly larger than the standard Axis, I'm assuming due the wood finish.
Juan,
I'm thinking so. Staci's standard Axis shafts are 7.2 gpi, these are 7.9 gpi
Rick,
She's shooting a 56" static with the hybrid handle. It's 37lbs @ 25".
Ryan
They sound like and look just like a Beman MFX Classic.
might need to buy some of those for the longbow :)
Love the Old School look.Don't know much about carbons,Ball park for a 55-60# bow @28" and around 200gr. up front would any one know the approx. total arrow weight,Just asking.Thanks Fellas.
Steve,
If you were going to shoot a similar style shaft with a standard insert, you'll get about 525-550gr. It's a rough estimate of a 29" shaft assuming that's about the length you're shooting with a 28" draw. Still many variables though.
Ryan
Here's another pic.

Tell me they saw the light and make it in a .450 spine too :D
I have no idea how to do that Facebook thingy, but it looks like they missed the boat if they are not Full Metal Jackets. Is there ANY difference in the to a MFX Classic?
I was really, REALLY hoping to see a wood grained "Legacy" FMJ :(
All it is a Beman Classic MFX 10.4 gpi and the Easton Axis is 9.4gpi that is a 400 spine arrow for both arrows. Its not new just a new name on it and give guys a trad look. It will have the N-Fused carbon is my guess making it a pricy arrow. Its a better looking arrow for sure I will be sure to get some for my archery shop and do some fancy splicing and cresting !
I tried the Beeman MFX and didn't like the flight as compared to a front loaded Axis with the same total arrow weight. Axis is the finest carbon I've used including Blackhawk Vapor Carbon and Carbonwood, Grizzly Stiks, Arrow Dynamic Traditional and Trad Lite and the Beeman MFX. The Axis shaft has been consistant for me over the years and I can't tell any difference in flight between newer and older versions. The woodgrain is nice, but I've never had a problem with just dressing up the plain black colored shaft with nice wraps and barred feathers.
Thanks Ryan,Clears things up a little.To many years using Woodies and aluminum.
For the larger stuff we hunt up here is it possible to build these up to around 650gr. without getting to crazy with to much FOC ?
Steve, would a 100gr insert and a 200gr point be too much FOC for you? You could also use weight tubes too. There are a couple different carbon arrows with a little higher gpi.
My friend and I were playing around with some heavy arrows earlier this year. We were getting some great flight with heavy inserts and tips ranging from 200-300gr, given the correct spine.
Ryan
Ryan,I definately had an Old Moment,been stuffing aluminum arrows for years,thanks for the reminder.LOL,gotta give em a try.
Your welcome Steve,
Glad to have "jogged" the memory. :)
Aloha!
Ryan

So what you're really saying is... "It's pretty much the same thing except it's one grain per inch lighter, and it still uses an X nock which we all know is the root of all evil in the universe, oh but there's a slight technical difference that you wont ever notice. Oh and its going to cost more money which make you cooler than the other guy"
That's all great, but is it going to be available in a .450 spine?
I'm told to look for TWO new Easton arrow models designed for recurve and longbow shooters.

Roy, PM me if you would. If they are coming out with the Legacy FMJs That I have been asking for, I am going to have to start selling stuff because I am buying 10 dozen of each 340 and 500s!
The new axis traditional are at 3Rivers, just came in today. Haven't made it to the website but will be there soon. They look really sharp. dino
why.. why would you do this to me!!!

found the link!!
Those look and their specs sound just like Beman MFX Classic shafts. Beman is an Easton company by the way.
I was talking to the owner/operator of the local bow shop about these a couple of weeks ago. Granted he does mostly compound business, but has been in the business for close to 30 years and always keeps at least a few traditional supplies around. I asked him about these just being a rebranded MFX, he said the Easton specs are what they say they are, while Beman's tend to be more of an average. I'm personally still hoping for a Legacy FMJ. I've written emails to Easton, even left a message on Eichler's Facebook page hoping he could throw his weight around a little.
Beman Centershot shafts are the second traditional shaft that easton is coming out with this year. They are an H series kinda like the old epic shafts with a woodgrain finish an HP3 50/75 grain brass insert. 3Rivers has those too. Like the look of the Axis more, but I may end up shooting the Centershots because I like the weight and that insert they come with.
Ch... Ching!!!
I saw them in person, the Hoyt rep brought in all the new arrows to the shop i work at. They are really nice arrows. Beman classics arent made anymore, they replaced them with a wood print arrow that uses H nocks. Both look great ,, definitely pickin some up.
Go Easton!!!! Nice!!!! :thumbsup:
I just bought a dozen FMJ shafts from 3 Rivers for $85. I think I will stay with them even though I like a traditional look.
We will be stocking these as soon as they are available. Cx also has a new pattern coming out that we will also stock.
thanks,bigjim
Jason, check out my signature below. I'm pretty close to your specs with my Beman MFX Classic 500s and I'm using 100 grain brass inserts and they are flying great out of my Kanati.
Thanks Doug, I am going to try them out again. I think with my longer draw I may be able to go a little lighter on the tip weight to.
Looking to try out the new Axis Traditionals soon. I LOVED the MFX classics.
They are beauties! Jason sent you a P.M. :readit:
