Easton 5MM Axis Full Metal Jacket™ Carbon Shafts Review

They are the same as the 5mm.

There should be designating information on the shaft like FMJ black diamond dangerous game or just FMJ black diamond both arrows are 5mm but be sure to look at the picture on the 3r website and pick the shaft that matches what you have. I cant think of any arrows tougher than these.

The 400 FMJ is going to be a 5mm shaft. The test kit will be in the 5mm. If the bow is tuned properly then the difference in thicknesses will not make hardly any difference. You would need to paper tune the difference to make sure though.

5mm FMJ 400 spine hits the same as a 6 mm FMJ. No need to retune the bow Gabriel Echavarria

Axis FMJ arrow - 5mminfused axis fmj - 4mmaxis under armor - 6mmaxis fmj -5mmaxis match grade - 5mmaxis fma/c injection -4mmcarbon injection -4mm I shoot a few different types of shafts depending on the type shooting or bow I'm using. My only Easton arrows however are the FMJ Dangerous game (250) which are 4mm and my xx75 2317 camo hunters which are 5mm. Shooting both off the same bow showed no noticeable grouping difference. I would say you'd be fine with a 1mm difference. I'm a finger shooter but even with a dloop you should be fine. If you notice a flight diff at most you would raise or lower your nocking point 1mm. Good Luck! nate

Yes the 5mm will tune differently.  You may probably use the 400 spine but definitely paper tune all over again  Sent from my iPhone domain

With your draw length and that bow weight I would recommend a 500 spine cut to 29.5 inches with a 145 grain point.

With my 26.5" draw and a 45# longbow, I use a full length 500 spine FMJ with a standard insert and a 125 grain point. This combo spines perfectly for me.... bullet holes when paper tuning. At your draw, you will need to cut the 500 slide arrows shorter or go with a lighter point. If you are going with a really heavy point (200 gr) you may need to go with a heavier spine. I have found tHe 3 Rivers online spine calculator to be very accurate. ....Mark

We follow ATA standard and measure from the valley of the nock to the end of the shaft.

Since they are not prefletched we can use 4, 5, or 5 1/2. with a right or left helical.

5" 3 fletch left twist fletched by 3rivers. Beautiful flight, awesome arrows. B

I shoot them with both a compound and recurve. With the compound, I use 2" Blazer vanes. With the recurve I use 3" feathers. For both I use a Bitzenberger jig with their helical set up. I don't know the angle in degrees, but it is substantial. ....Mark

Yes they will come with the chamfer stone and tool to install the inserts.

The inserts are included, but not installed. If you want the inserts installed, there is a separate charge besides the cost to cut arrows.

The length is measured to the valley of the nock (the area that touches the string).

Best to cut yourself to have them properly tuned unless you've already shot the set up and know that the arrows will fly true  Sent from my iPhone | Approve sender | Approve domain

The length is measures from the Nock cut to the front of the arrow. That is where the string is when drawn. The Apple cutter for example is set up for this, but you should always cut at least 1 inch beyond your draw length for Broadheads.Gabriel Sent from my iPhone

Measuring should be from the slot in the knock where the string will sit to the front end of the shaft where the point screws in. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

It is from the inside of the nock, not the end of the nock

The GPI on the 500 spine is 9.1 and is 30 inches long.

Ex. A 45lbs custom recurve @ 26" draw 600spine Carbon arrows paper tuned with 300 grains up front.  47lbs custom recurve @ 30.5 draw also paper tuned 340spine Carbon arrows with 230grains up front.  The Longer the arrow needs to be the stiffer the spine will also need to be.    Sent from my iPhone

Depends on draw length  Sent from my iPhone

You want the 9/32 weight tubes, there is no other that im aware of.

17/64 will fit, but the only way to add weight to the back is to push the weight through the shaft from the front. I have not seen it done before so I don't know if that's possible. Respectfully Sent, Evan T. Fairbanks
