Easton ST Axis arrows

[New Hampshire]

Anyone shooting these: http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=54627&hvarDept=400&hvarEvent=&hvarClassCode=13&hvarSubCode=5&hvarTarget=browse ?

I recently read a review of them in a local Fishing and Hunting paper.  The guy said he bought some to try.  He killed a porcupine that was invading his yard and was amazed.  The arrow went right through the Porc. of course.  But what happened was that the arrow smashed into a boulder right behind it.  The nock popped off and the broadhead was smashed and mangled.  He figured he had one useless arrow now.  But to his amazement, he put the nock back on fired the arrow and watched it land right in the 10 ring!  At 90 bucks they are a little expensive, but considering I just paid $68 for aluminum Eastons with feathers I guess the price is reasonable.

I bought a dozen when I purchased my new BowTech.  At first I was leary having bad experiences with early carbons.

Don't hit the wall in the wood shop at school.  The 3/4 sheetrock and steel siding does a number on them. Especially at 320 fps.  Hey!  I needed somewhere to try the new bow last winter. :roll:

The one black bear I killed with one never knew what hit him.  Ten yards and it blew completely through him like he was hot butter.   No damage at all to the arrow.  I hit a rock with one and split the end.  I might try super gluing it to salvage it.

As far as accuracy.  I was never before confident at 50 yards with a bow. Between the new bow and the arrows, I would not hesitate one second to shoot a moose or bear at 50 yards. Even a deer should be threatened.  

Great arrows!  You will need the little tapered washers if you already have broadheards.

In a few months I will be getting a new hunting bow.  Ill probably start out practice shooting with aluminums.  But when I get up and ready to begin bow hunting next year Im thinking of switching to these.  If they are as tough as it seems they are then it sounds like a solid investment.  Thanks for your input.
