Easton 5.0 review

[GIS]

Thought I'd share a quick review...

So far very impressed with the new 5.0s. I gained 21 fps between the regular axis and 5.0s.

Bow:
- V3X 33
- 28" draw
- 70 lb 80% let off mods

Easton 5.0:
- 300 spine
- Cut to 27"
- Standard hit insert
- 100 gr field point
- 3 aae max stealth vanes
- Micro light nock
406 gr total weight
292 fps

Axis:
- 300 spine match grade
- Cut to 27"
- Standard hit insert
- 100 gr field point
- 3 aae max stealth vanes
- x nock
476 gr total weight
271 fps

I had a slight left tear through paper so I had to swap top hats. Otherwise they are shooting great through paper. Waiting for it to warm up to get to the range and shoot longer distances.

Following, had heard weird durability reviews of them on Archery Talk. Curious if it’s just a bad batch.

I hadn't heard that and good to know. I'll update as I shoot more.

Curious too.

I've shot an Axis 300 forever and absolutely love it. I shoot 50gr of brass up front with a 28.5 inch draw at 72lbs and have never had any issues killing anything out west with a total arrow weight of just under 500gr. My speed out of my Rx7 is right below 270 and I would be really curious to give the 5.0s a go at some point and see what happens. Axis is such a good arrow. Really cool that they came out with the 5.0 to mix things up with the axis

I am planning to give them a go this year too. Good luck.

Seems like they are just hard to source currently in 300 spine. I need a couple dozen...

What was said over there regarding durability? I have that concern with any arrow that’s sold/marketed as light gpi

I built two dozen and have been shooting them for a few weeks now. Have made some bad shots and no breaks. Had to refletch a couple times as they are very consistent in flight and I’m too dumb to pick a different spot on the target.
