New Easton Axis Arrows

Has anyone heard of or tried the new easton Axis Injexion arrows? I love the Nano N Fused arrows but the new ones look nice too and was wondering if anyone had any input on them ?

I first saw them on the NAP site. The caveat with them for me is the you must use the NAP deep 6 broadhead as part of the arrow. I believe it is made specifically for that head. I shoot and love Razorcaps, which seem to be much the same as the Deep 6 heads so the quality is there. But if you have a preference for a different head I think you are out of luck. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct Bill. There are a limited number of broadheads which fit the shafts. They are thinner and stiffer at their respective spines than the regular axis arrows. But they are great shooters. I set up a set of .480's at 29.5'' with 165 grns. up front and they shoot fantastic out of my Zipper Extreme #50

they are also so thin that getting helical feathers to fit well is a tough task.

Tyler: What are the broadhead options that seem to work with them?

You can use the Victory VAP outsert in those Injection arrows which allows you to use any standard tip on them and adds some extra tip weight and is available in aluminum and SS as well for even more FOC!

Thanks for the info, Mark.

Bill now we can try the shafts. I thought I heard that the victory outserts would work and now we know we can use them. So when we Ordering. LOL

Yes we used them in those shafts when we were doing our testing with our DX-3 head and comparing it to our current offerings and they shot and held up very well. In fact they did better then the standard insert system but we did bend a few of the aluminum ones but we were putting them thru some extreme durability testing, if you know what I mean!
Have not shot the SS version but that would be my choice if I was to shoot those shafts as they are fairly light and SS outsert will add alot more tip weight and overall arrow weight.
