EKYhunter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey guys my new Switchback XT is finally here and I'm going to pick it up this weekend! Just wondering about the ST Axis type arrows. Do they require a broadhead adapter given that they are a small diameter arrow? I'm thinking about shooting them and am just wondering.

MCH Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: ? about ST Axis/HIT inserts I've never owned any of the ST's but from what I've heard about them, they do require an adapter to go between the shaft and the broadhead. I've seen them over on Cabela's website, and they're not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realtrhunter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: ? about ST Axis/HIT inserts I am shooting the ST Axis now. The pro shop that I bought the arrows from didnt say anything about having adapters for BHs. I am shooting Muzzy 100s on them. The BHs are a bit wider than the arrow shaft, but I haven't had any problems. I killed two nice bucks with the same arrow, one field dressed at 205.

NYBowhunter71 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: ? about ST Axis/HIT inserts I shoot the ST Axis and they work with most type broadheads without adapters. They shoot really well and take quite a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwheel5 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: ? about ST Axis/HIT inserts The broadhead will be bigger than the shaft but I have never had to install a adaptor to any of the hundreds of Axis that I have done here at the shop.

Guest realtrhunter Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ? about ST Axis/HIT inserts What is the real reason for putting an adapt on? As far as I can tell, as long as the arrow shaft is cut perpendicular there should be no reason for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
