Sorry, I don’t know anything about your axis.

Lots of good info. at the above site.
Hope it helps.
A starting point might be Legacy 2018 aluminum and 125 gr. point. Get about three and fletch two with feathers and leave one bare shaft. Read about bareshaft test at the above site.
Are you sure you’re pulling that much length with a trad bow? Most pull less when switching from compound.

in reply to: Any other Bear Archery enthusiasts here? #51000

Hey, Trap. I just found this site last month when I got my TBmag.
It’s funny that I’ve never owned one; but I’ve been interested in them, and Mr.Fred since the ’60s.

I was lucky that I got to the museum in Florida before it was sold off. I was able to get a life size stand-up of Mr. Fred, and my wife shot a longbow there.
While in FL, I stopped by 4-Nolz(Mike H.) and shot the ‘Little Delta’ bow he had at the time. That meant a lot to me and was a highlight of the trip.

So I’m still looking for my Bear recurve, that’s a low poundage shooter, and I’m sixty years old.:lol:

Happy trails…Mac/NC

in reply to: VANES or FEATHERS ?? #47867

I shot vanes when they came to my area in the ’70s. I was shooting a Ben Pearson Hunter and ‘everybody’ was going to plastic vanes ’cause it was ‘new and improved’.:lol:

The big selling point, naturally; was that it didn’t matter if they got wet when you were hunting.

All you had to do to shoot them was buy the stick on Hoyt rest and there you go.

I use feathers now.
