Let’s be honest here. A majority of bowhunters in the world probably like to keep things as simple as possible. They’re going to favor having one arrow for all their hunting adventures.Whether they’re chasing elk out West, whitetails in the East, caribou up North, or impala in Africa, they’d like to have one arrow to do it all. That way, there’s no need to tune the bow every time they switch arrows. There’s no need to make a new sight tape for their single-pin sights. And there’s no need to start practice from ground zero time and again to understand the performance of each different arrow. If I shoot the same arrow with a 100-grain point all year long, I’m going to have great confidence in that setup no matter what I’m hunting. The best arrow for hunting is one that stays in the middle of the road in all the performance characteristics. It’s not too heavy, nor is it too light. It’s not the skinniest arrow on the market, nor is it the fattest. It’s going to offer decent speed, but it’s not considered either fast or slow. It’s got to be durable and somewhat affordable.If there is such a thing as THE perfect arrow, the Easton 5mm Axis might be it. It’s an all-carbon arrow with a 5mm outside diameter. A 300-spine shaft weighs 10.7 grains per inch. There are less expensive versions of this arrow with a straightness tolerance of .003 inches, and more costly, match grade versions with a tolerance of .001 inches.So we are talking about a small diameter carbon arrow that weighs a fair amount. This is an arrow you’ll be able to shoot long range in the wind. Or you can shoot it at 15 yards from a tree stand. You can hunt moose or antelope with an Easton Axis arrow. This is an arrow that will take a beating, and still get the job done.Easton makes a variety of point inserts for the 5mm axis, so you can get the front end of the arrow to perform the way you want. You can choose between aluminum or brass HIT inserts, or aluminum or stainless steel half-outs. These will allow you to beef up the arrow’s F.O.C. for long-range accuracy or hard-hitting penetration, or keep it at a minimum to maintain speed.And the Easton 5mm Axis won’t break your bank account. At Lancaster Archery Supply, the bare shaft, .003 version of this arrow costs $10.50. The match-grade .001 version costs $12.17. Neither is at the top of the price sheet.It’s hard to find a shaft that’s the best hunting arrow for deer and the best hunting arrow for elk. But, the Easton Axis pulls double duty better than any arrow I’ve tested. Also, if you pair it with Iron Will impact collars you’ll have a durable arrow you can use for many seasons.
