Building new Easton axis arrows

[Manosteel21]

Looking at ordering new arrows. Thinking about match grade 5mm axis 250’s. Arrow length will be 29 1/4”. Pulling 80#. Planning on 125g fixed blades. Can I put 50g or 75g inserts in without being underspined?

I would think so. What's your draw length? Heck I have 75gr HIT's in 30" .300 spine arrows with my 32 1/2" draw, and they shoot fine at 70+ lbs. Let us know how you like those "match grade" Axis. I might have to try some, never cared for their regular ones.

You should be just fine with 50gr inserts.

I agree with the above replies. Last year I shot 260 axis with 75 grain brass inserts and 100 grain head. Bow setup was 80# hoyt nitrum and arrows were 29.75" CTC. No issues tuning at all. Arrows were heavy and lethal. I think you should be fine.

I can’t remember for the life of me what my DL is....29.5 seems to ring a bell though

Because the Easton chart I looked at didn’t say anything about inserts or broadheads over 125.

You should be good to go with 50 grain inserts and 125 grain heads.

The charts will get you in the ballpark but leave room to be desired. There is much they do not factor in that the software programs do factor in.

I would need more info to run it through OT2. But my thinking is your on the cusp with 50s. if your draw lenth is 29.5 and you could I would cut the arrows back to 28 or 27.5 then use the full 75 grain hits. it will stiffen it up a bit and be about the same weight.

I agree with trial. For reference my current setup is axis 300 cut 26.5" ctc with no wrap and 3 2.5" feathers. 75 grain insert and 100 grain head. Draw weight is 66 and draw length is 29 on an obsession knightmare.

Fair enough. I had to dig a bit to find a chart the last time I built an axis with a lot of upfront weight.

You should be fine

I have a similar set up and ran it through pinwheel

79lb. Bow 28inch arrows

I run 50g inserts and 125g heads and I was even a smidge over

Cool thing is you can also run 75g brass with 100g if you have different broadheads laying around

WOW! That sounds like one destructive meat missile!
