    Good morning bowhunting family.I am seeking to buy some new arrows for target shooting and hunting this fall.I am shooting a martin onza 3 set at a 28 inch draw and a 59 pound weight.I am looking at the easton st axis 400s with my arrow being 28 inches.I will be using a 125 grain broad head and 100 grain field points.Will this work very well for my set up?Any one have any luck or know if easton st axis nano tubes are worth the money and effort?How are there spines?Please fill me in on any info you may have.Thank you.

    You need to use the same weigth for both fieldpoints and broadheads.

    The spine sounds just right with your draw weight and draw length with either the 100 or 125 grains up front.

    My first piece of advice would be to shoot the same grain field point as broadhead. As to the question of the arrows, I'd need to run your numbers through my program at home. Some others may be able to answer it off the top of their heads before then.

    I don't think you'll go wrong with the ST axis, they are good arrows. The .400's will likely work pretty well with your setup. I would keep my tip weight the same though, 125gr FP's and BH's.

    Great arrow, this will be my 7th or 8th year shooting them... love them. As bruce said the 400's should be perfect and yes make sure to shoot a consistent tip weight.

    agree with W, 400's good. been using Axis for several yrs now. Never a problem. several pass thru, still using same arrow. no signs of wear. go with 100 gr tips. I was at 125, they'll fly better with the 100 gr at the front, for what your pulling in wt. Like the others said, bh & ft must be the same for practice, target, and hunting.

    Very tough arrows, I have been using them for about 4 years.
