{"product_id":"easton-axis-5mm-shafts-w-halfout","title":"Easton Axis 5mm Shafts w\/Halfout","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: normal !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen penetration and downrange accuracy are the benchmark, the \u003cstrong\u003eEaston Axis 5mm Shafts w\/Half Out\u003c\/strong\u003e consistently sit at the top of the conversation for serious bowhunters. Built around a 5mm small-diameter profile with an internal diameter of just 0.204 inches (5.18mm), these shafts concentrate kinetic energy into a dramatically reduced frontal area, which translates directly to deeper penetration on game and less resistance pushing through hide, muscle, and bone. The slender profile also means less surface area for crosswinds to push against, giving you tighter groups at hunting distances where conditions are rarely ideal. Manufactured in Easton's USA factory using their Acu-Carbon Uniform Spine process, each shaft is built to a straightness tolerance of ±.003 inch (±0.076mm) with consistent spine throughout, meaning you can pull these straight from the box without the tedious process of spine-aligning or weight-sorting your arrows before a hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEaston Axis 5mm Shafts w\/Half Out Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from Easton's ACU-CARBON carbon composite fibre using the Acu-Carbon Uniform Spine process, which eliminates inconsistent spine stiffness around the circumference of the shaft. The result is a shaft that flies the same way every time, without needing to be indexed on the bow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpine Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in 200 spine, suited to high draw-weight setups. Spine rating refers to the measured flex of the shaft under load; a stiffer spine like 200 is typically matched to heavier draw weights and shorter draw lengths to achieve correct arrow flight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Diameter Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 0.204 inches (5.18mm) internal diameter, the Axis 5mm is a micro-diameter shaft. The reduced frontal area means less friction as the arrow passes through an animal, and less surface for wind to act on during flight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 grains per inch (GPI), giving the 200 spine shaft a robust finished arrow weight when combined with inserts, nock, and point. Higher finished arrow weight supports deeper penetration and a flatter, more controlled trajectory from a heavy draw bow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraightness Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Held to ±.003 inch (±0.076mm), which is a premium-grade straightness specification. Tighter straightness tolerances reduce arrow-to-arrow variation and contribute directly to consistent grouping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHIT System (Hidden Insert System):\u003c\/strong\u003e The half-out aluminium 8-32 inserts are designed to sit flush with the front of the shaft, aligning the point or broadhead with the inner diameter of the arrow rather than sitting proud of it. This eliminates the collar gap common on standard inserts, improving broadhead alignment and flight consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Half-Out Inserts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships with 5mm aluminium 8-32 half-out inserts weighing 25 grains each. These are threaded for standard 8-32 field points and broadheads and are pre-matched to the shaft's internal diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Installed Nocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fitted with 5mm X Nocks at 9 grains each. X Nocks are an indexed, snap-fit nock designed for use with standard bowstring serving diameters, providing a consistent and repeatable nock fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produced in Easton's own manufacturing facility in the United States, where quality control processes are applied throughout production rather than outsourced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Easton Axis 5mm in 200 spine is a purpose-built hunting shaft for archers running high draw weights who want a premium small-diameter option that delivers consistent spine, tight tolerances, and a system-ready setup straight out of the pack. With the HIT insert system and X Nocks already sorted, these are ready to be cut to length, tipped, and put to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Easton","offers":[{"title":"200 Spine","offer_id":51206729564481,"sku":"723560012886","price":279.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/6475\/3217\/files\/easton_axis_5mm_shafts_whalfout_001288_venture_1.jpg?v=1788304941","url":"https:\/\/venturehunting.com.au\/products\/easton-axis-5mm-shafts-w-halfout","provider":"Venture Hunting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
