    These are all I have used for the last 3 years...and I do not plan on switching. Heavy, lots of KE.

    I have shot them and they are a very good arrow to use. You won't be disappointed.

    That's what I shoot and no complaints. I'm thinking of testing out a few different arrows this summer, but not for being unhappy, just to have more direct knowledge for myself of some different brands and setups.

    I used to shoot them and never had any problems. Was always happy with them!

    I'm getting. 3 and 4 inch groups with them at 100 yards when my form is in check. These are good arrows but I am wanting to try the injection.

    In this video my bow is 65# and 29.5" draw. My axis 340s are 26.5" with 100 tips and mini blazers. Basically an arrow better suited for a 90 pound bow.

    Might be the good arrows, my custom strings, the optimizer and some advice from a very good coach online all wrapped into one.
    This is a 3.25" group at a measured 100 yards in 12-15 mph crosswind
    Later I measured my finger..lol

    These arrows have a really big following on this site. I'm not sure you will find anyone that has something negative to say for them.
    I have 2 types of arrows currently, maxima reds, and easton axis. Once the reds get shot up, I'm going to replace them with the axis. They're really good arrows at a really good price.

    The ONLY thing I don't like about them is they're factory crested. That's extra weight in a location I don't want extra weight.

    I agree about the cresting but it can be removed if so desired.

    Hard to beat the axis arrows for their intended use.

    Exactly. If the only complaint is factory cresting, I think they're on to something good
