Ok so after shooting the same Diamond bow and Cabela's stalker extremes for 13 years, I finally upgraded to a Triax this month. Now I'm trying to decide on arrows and I'm hoping to get some feedback from people who have a Triax and/or have used any of these arrows.
I've narrowed down my selection to either Easton Axis, Easton FMJ, Carbon Express Max Red, and maybe Carbon Express Max Hunter- still on the fence about the hunters. Or do I just keep my old stalker extremes? Now each arrow has its pros and cons and I've spent hours researching and reading reviews, but I'm still lost.
So the Axis arrows are heavier which will have better penetration and quiet my bow some, but there isn't much on the web about them. You just don't see alot of people posting or bragging.
The FMJ will be even heavier, hence more quiet and best penetration. People also seem to get good grouping with these. But my concern is the possibility of bending a shaft (which is expensive). I feel like I would have to buy an arrow spinner and be constantly testing my arrows. I've also read about a few issues with the HIT inserts.
The Max Reds seem to be grouping the best, especially out of the Triax. But they weigh less than my Stalker Extremes so i worry about penetration and noise. There are also some negative comments about them breaking more than the other arrows.
The Max Hunters are like the Axis- just not much chatter on the web about them.
Any advice or personal experience you have is greatly appreciated. Below are some of the specs on the arrows. My setup is at 70lb and 29.5" draw.
