When Easton's 5mm Axis came on the scene, it quickly gained popularity thanks to its small shaft, which offered better accuracy and mitigated friction to retain velocity and add penetration. Now the concept has made the next logical progression with the introduction of the 4mm Axis Long Range.

The 4mm Axis Long Rang promises to offer bowhunters even more of what they want in a micro-diameter arrow, by utilizing a lighter-weight carbon for more speed to the target, in order to drive broadheads deeper upon impact. “Additionally, it adds penetration as the shaft passes through with less friction behind the broadhead channel” said Gary Cornum, Easton's director of marketing. “Millions of successful hunts testify to the awesome effectiveness of a simple concept that equates to more downed big game—it’s like getting magnum ammunition made for a bow.”

Made in Easton’s Utah factory, the Axis Long Range is engineered with specialized carbon-fiber to increase arrow velocity. Easton 4mm Microlite nocks and front-of-center boosting 8-32 half-outs—threaded for 5/16-inch field points—are included to help tighten arrow grouping. 4mm Axis Long Range is available in four spine sizes—250, 300, 340, and 400—in both standard straightness and in the ultra-precise ±.001 Match Grade. Shaft weights for those spines respectively are 9.8, 9.3, 8.3 and 7.6 grains per inch (GPI).

Specifications:

  • High-strength, lighter-weight carbon adds velocity for longer range
  • Includes 8-32-point half-outs
  • Pre-installed 4mm nocks
  • Four sizes: 250, 300, 340, & 400
  • Available in standard straightness and in the ±.001” Match Grade
  • Made in USA
