Easton Axis 340

[paulv2585]

I have a question about some arrows I recently purchased. I noticed that the field points that I have (they are supposed to be the correct diameter) are wider than the diameter of the arrow shaft. I initially chalked it up to cheap field points but my broad heads, Vipertricks & Trypans, are both wider by a little. I purchased some Easton BAR and the BAR fit perfectly on the arrow but are wider than the diameter of the broad heads and field points. My question is, should I worry about the little difference between diameters of arrow shaft and tips? Is there something else that I could try to try and keep everything as smooth as possible?

Don’t worry about it with the broadheads. Buy some 9/32 field points.

I’ve never found it to make any difference.

I've never worried about BH's, but those are definitely not the right size FP's.

Get the right Fps. With that overhang it makes them heard to remove from a target and it also tears up targets.

Yeah it will be a bitch to pull from a bag target. Broadheads are fine tho.

The packaging on the FP said they are 9/32 but I'm thinking that they are just some cheap ones that probably aren't true to specs.

I do have some on order but I'm just a little tired of having to purchase something to "test" it out to see if it fits.

I've noticed the same thing regardless of brand of FP (Easton, Saunders, etc). The outside diameter between 400 and 340 spines is slightly different: https://eastonarchery.com/arrows_/5mm-axis-carbon-arrows/

I bought: Saunders Combo Points 17/64 100 Grain for my Easton Axis 340s.

Despite Easton's chart, they fit better for bag targets than the 9/32 RPS field points I was using. I also like them because they are longer than a typical field point, which in my mind will make them balance even closer to the Rage Trypans.

Gold Point Kinetic EZ pulls 100grn fit the Axis perfectly. 12.00 on Amazon.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback guys!

yes

So a little update. I ended up having to buy 17/64 field points. They fit flush with the arrow shafts but anything else was too big.
