Title: Anyone hunt with small diameter arrows?
Post by: DJ_Mack on September 28, 2017, 07:25:37 PM: Anyone hunt with small diameter arrows? What's your opinion? Have you had issues with your quiver?

The grippers seemed to shrink back down a day or so after taking my normal diameter shafts out of them and hold the Axis pretty well now. :twocents:

I shoot the Axis N Fused 400's and they have been great for me. Very durable.

Switched over from black eagle carnivores. Only complaint with this is they were pretty light. About ten years ago inshot the axis 340 and loved those. I really like the smaller dia arrows less drift fly straight and hit hard. If you get the right spot quiver like mentioned above you can adjust the quiver to fit the arrows.

Post by: KFhunter on December 14, 2017, 04:44:37 PM: You will want a new quiver, yes it might shrink and hold your arrows but not tight enough for going through brush. I got sick of them sorta half stuck and got a new quiver. I got a tight spot knock off (browning 1 piece??) my next one will be a tight spot unless something new and better comes out.

Arrows falling out of your quiver can kill you in the brush :twocents:
