Broke down and got me a 1/2 dozen axis arrows this evening. None of the local bow shops around me carry easton or else I would have gotten them there and and had them cut them for me. Considered getting some from lancaster but didn't want to wait a week or so.

Fortunately the gander mtn guy cut them fine. Dude said he didn't work on bows but could cut arrows and what not so I thought what the heck. He put the first insert in wrong being that he did not use the little HIT insert tool. I told him he's supposed to use the tool and that the inserts don't fit flush in these type of arrows.

Well he does the remaining five with the tool like he's supposed to and we end up getting another box and taking out another arrow and he does it right.

All in all I think he did an alright job. Arrows seem to be cut clean and the inserts seems to be in there just fine.

It was a little nerve wrecking though.

Moral of the story is: Don't wait til the last minute to get your crap together!

I would have just done it myself but I don't have saw to do it and don't have the type of glue for the inserts!

If you want to see some funny stuff go into ___________archery shop/desk this time of year and listen to the conversations.

The fat guy at gander in tuscaloosa told me he had six chill x's at his house

Yep. I've heard some good'uns over the years. When I was helping the Worm Shack out in Tuscaloosa one year, we had this jackass come in saying his arrows were flying funny. He pulled what looked like an old Whitetail II out of a case. It was completely covered with camo duct tape. He pulled one of his arrows out and he had wrapped them in the same camo duct tape.

Installed a new rest for a guy and got him paper tuned. Then he asked me if he would have to sight his bow in again.

If you really want to see some good stuff, roll up into the hunting section at your local Walmart Friday evening.

Good lord

lol

Beadle is on FB right now luring people into talking about their stump bleach success...I was reading it and literally F-ing dying laughing!

Wish you had caught the one on archery talk

gonna look now...the post looks legit too with the pics love it. guys are on there swearing by it.

I overheard the red hair kid that worked at academy in auburn a few yrs ago recommend that a customer buy a "center balance" for his bow

heard a few guys ask the sales guy to site in their bow for them

I bought a dozen carbon express maxima arrows from Gander Mountain a few years back. They used hot melt glue for the inserts. I didn't openly question them since I figured (hoped) they knew what they were doing, but I kept a close eye on the arrows. As I feared, the glue expanded and split many of the arrows. They replaced them all. The guy working there got mad at his management because they had forced him to use that type of glue. He was almost glad that I brought them back so he could show them.
