    I have the Nano's...been good for me.

    I have some others I have tried, and went back to the nano's. I am going to look for something with a stiffer spine, but until I break or lose these two dozen I have - not changing.

    I've ben shooting the axis for almost 7 years and absolutely love them. I've not found another arrow that is more durable. I'm a huge fan of small diameter arrows for a multitude of reasons.

    The FMJ's are nice but if I'm going to use an aluminum/carbon arrow... I want the aluminum on the inside, I've seen these arrows dent, a lot.

    The acc's are nice but IMO not worth the extra money over the nano's

    So which one is the most durable? I have the tendency to break arrows like crazy because i like to have fun in the yard and shoot at crazy angles and distances.

    I have the Axis N-Fused.

    They're great arrows as far as I am concerned.

    The only thing I do not like is the Hidden Insert technology(HIT). They tend to "splinter" if they hit anything solid, where a regular insert arrow had held up.

    The Axis N fused are pure carbon. All of them are great arrows. I use the pure carbon N-fused because the ones bonded to aluminum (A/C/C, FMJ) can bend which has been a problem for me in the past. I do agree that the HIT system tends to be weaker on the pure carbon shaft than a standard insert as mentioned, but it's fine on the FMJ, A/C/C shafts since the head butts up against aluminum which stops the impact from shattering the shaft.
