CX - Overseas. Easton Axis - USA.
Axis 340, 50gr brass insert, FlexFletch FFP-360 vanes, 100gr BH. They will fly great and hit hard. They will be about 430-450gr. w/ 12-13% foc. You can always go to a 125gr BH to get a little more weight & foc.

CX for me! Long time Bowsite Arrow Sponsor with multiple hunting shaft options.
I use the PileDrive Pass Thru Extreme shafts. Heavy but thin! Very good penetration for lighter weight bows! Good luck. C

I think the weave of the fiber wrap of the CTs is about the best design there is. No seam like most. Yes, in china, but the same exact machines they used to use here.
Not familiar with the CX.

As TD states, it's my understanding that the same exact machines were shipped overseas for constructing C Techs. I've used CT for over 15 years, no complaints. Many tout them as the most consistently spined arrows; I have no way of measuring that, but I've never had any fliers out of dozens and dozens.

I was a CT dealer for many years. Before they moved, Rick McKinney called his dealers personally and explained the move. Yes, they literally picked up and moved the plant's machines overseas where they can now operate 24 hrs a day.
Both companies offer light-fast, medium, and heavy hitters.

Maybe Big Daddy Donald will bring them back! TD, CX is Carbon Express, made in Korea.

My old bow shop did some spine testing several years ago. Carbon tech was the most consistent then. I'm sure manufacturing processes & tolerances have improved since, that fact always stuck w me.
