Title: Easton Axis 340 slim line Carbon Arrows
Post by: stlhdr1 on November 27, 2008, 10:32:16 PM: What will the difference be in trajectory for a Easton Axis 340 and a Easton Axis 400?

I currently shoot Easton Axis 340's with the blazer veins and ordered some arrows on Ebay which turned out to be the 400's, my mistake... Anyhow, I'm shooting 68 pounds of draw and was wondering if I'd see any difference when shooting the two?

But at 68 lbs a 340 should be more along the lines of what you want to be shooting. The difference it will make is: it may not papertune, and may not fly great with broadheads amongst other things...

Post by: stlhdr1 on November 28, 2008, 09:58:46 AM: Yeah, I shoot a 29" draw with a release. I'm shooting the 2008 Bowtech General..

The 340's I killed my elk with shot great but on the occassion would look as if they were flying oddly at times...

Anyhow, sounds like I'll be selling these 400's unless I hear something different....

Anyone need Some Easton Axis 400's that are dipped and cut to 29"?

they will fly off target, usually windage drift from original set aimpoint of the 340 size. Little change in elevation but BIG change in windage on target results.
Worse with broadheads.
