Beman MFX Classic

[Seeking Trad Deer]

Has anyone used these shafts.  I shoot Axis out of one of my bows and these seem like they would be basically the same but a little heavier.  Anybody know a business that would sell these in a test kit or just a couple to try out.  I would like a 500 and 400 shaft.  I prefer someone other than 3Rivers.  Any input on these shafts as compared to Axis or where a guy could just buy a couple to try would be appreciated.

I will send Bob an email.  Any other input is appreciated...thank you.

3 Rivers sells them, as well as selling different test kits...a call might get you a test kit of the MFX.

Kustom King sells them by the half dozen.

Thanks for the Custom King info.  I don't have their catalog but I'll look em up on the web.  Does anyone out there use these shafts?

here is the link, have used the fmj and axis, shoot well. The mfx is a heavier shaft but since my point weight is so high going to the mfx would take me over 800 gr.

I just started using them for 3D out of a Barta Bow I had to adust the nock hieght and play with tip weight but I have some 30"  500's flying like darts. I still have to shoot wood to hunt though.

I use both the Axis 400 and Beman MFX 400 and other than a little more (slight) drop in trajectory, I don't notice any difference in the arrows. I think there's about 30 grains difference for me in a 29.5 inch arrow.

P.S.-I get mine through Kustom King. If you order on-line, you get a 5% discount.

I shoot the MFX Classic 400's and love em.  I just drive 10 minutes to Lancaster Archery for mine!

What spine for:

52# recurve with 29.50" arrow and 200-225 grain broadheads.

60# recurve with 29.50" arrow and 200-250  grain broadheads.

S.T.D,

When bareshafting out of the same bow, my Axis shafts ended up 1/4" longer than my MFX Classics out of the same bow.

[Ray Lyon]

My arrows are cut 29.5" to the back of point. I'm shooting a 60#, high performance R/D longbow with 450+ string and drawing abotu 29". I use the 400 size in both with a 200 grain point.

[Seeking Trad Deer]

Steve,  I am assuming your results indicate the the Axis is a bit more stiff than the Beman.  Am I thinking correctly?  Which of the bareshafting techniques are you using...Adcocks?

Thanks everyone for your input thus far...

[Steve O]

For that batch, yep.  1/4 inch is not much for sure.  I just keep cutting them till they show slightly stiff and double check with broadheads.

[katman]

Ray, is the point weight 200 grain total? ie. with or without the insert?

Steve interesting that the Axis proved stiffer but are lighter than the MFX.

STD I would think the 400's would work well.

My dad shoots the 340's from his 65# recurve.  With a little tuning they are flying amazing.  We shot them through a chrono just for giggles and at over 180fps and a nearly 630 gr arrow his kinetic energy is pretty impressive if you ask me.  That and the flat trajectory is very comforting to him since he just made the switch a year ago to traditional from the wheels.

I added them to my lineup last year after testing them.  I used hot melt glue to bare shaft tune them using the Adcock method.  Seems I ended up leaving them (400's) longer than my Gold Tip 5575's out of my 55# longbow.  I don't like the fact that the HIT inserts make bare shaft tuning more difficult.

[Seeking Trad Deer]

Larry...I am with you on the tuning difficulties inherent in the HIT inserts.  I find carbon is much more picky than aluminums to tune even without the HIT issue.  Is Lost Nation selling these arrows by the 1/2 dozen or some type of Test Kits?  How much longer than your draw are you Axis arrows?

[Steve O]

Guys, you could glue them in tight and cut them from the back...
