Why I'm switching from Easton Axis Arrows to Sirius Apollo Arrows.

A few months ago I switched from Easton FMJ to the Sirius Apollo and could not be happier. I would call Sirius a 'boutique' company as opposed to Easton a 'big box' company. Customer service from Seth is top notch and the arrows are incredibly tough (hit a rock square on and it actually bent my practice tip and the arrow did not splinter or explode!)

They are an awesome company and I wouldn't want to spend my money else where.

over priced crap.. I bought Sirius geminis and the ranch fairy 3 blade tuffheads. The nocks that were provided had to be glued in. They flew out every time I released an arrow. They sent me other ones that were even looser. Then 4 out of the 6 ranch fairy 3 blade broadheads I bought would not screw into the insert/outsert. I had to spin them in a lathe and remove 2 thou of material on the unthreaded part after the threads. Which took 2 to 4 grains off the front. They refused to get back to me after the nocks. I sent them vids of the nocks flying out and broadheads not screwing into the insert. They refused to get back to me on the broadheads. I got ripped off for $800 basically. The arrow system sucks as far as QC goes. 3 times the price for chinese crap

I shot the Apollo’s last year at .204, and I’m shooting the Orion’s this year at .166. I absolutely love the Apollo’s. I had a 100 grain insert and shot either 125 or 265 broadheads. Anywhere from about 600 to 740 grain TAW. I’m shooting the Orion’s this year with 200 grain Tuffhead evos and 100 grain insert/outsert. 630 grain TAW. Brought my FOC up as a result. Shoots really well and feels solid! Good luck this year!

Good luck to you as well! It was a toss up between the Orions and Apollos

Firenock nocks are the bee's knees. They align really well and are very consistent. Love the .166 nocks.

I used the apollos for quite awhile and they're great. Now I've moved on to the geminis. Much lighter gpi and still tough as hell. Expensive but worth it

I shot the axis from the time they were introduced until about 3 years ago. I switched for the same reason. Now, after a few years I think I’m going back to standard diameter. Have some Sirius Supernova 2.0 on the way.

I'm about to dial up a half dozen Orions to see what's up with them. I've been shooting micro's for a few years now (day six, easton 4mm and VAP elites). I see a major increase in wind resistance with the micro diameter, heavier, 4 fletch, higher FOC arrows. Wind is a major issue out here where I hunt in northern CO, southern WY.
@jeffcordero_2 жыл бұрын
I’m shooting the Orions myself this year. Depending on how much point weight your wanting to run I recommend a steel insert and then you can chose between the aluminum or stainless collar.

Fire nocks are not worth it to me. First ones i bought did great. Had to replace some last year and had nothing but malfunctions. Harvest 3 deer last year and they didn’t light up on any of my shots.

300 seems under spines for a 28” carbon to carbon, 200 grains up front, and 74# DW. Have they been working for you?
@jeffcordero_2 жыл бұрын
They are right on the line of being underspined. Since I made the video I have turned my bow poundage down to 70# even. I was getting inconsistencies and turning the poundage down helped. I’ll be making some more videos this year trying different arrows and spines, so if these don’t tickle you, maybe another build will.

Just made the same switch today because rhe match grade axis are trash, last 2 dozen I've bought I don't think should have made a .006 standard lol. My non match grade easton sonics were straighter (still wobbly though) but these Apollos are all glass, every single one of them is a glass rod. I dont know how easton grades their arrows but something is way off. I should make a video and show the difference in them

I have been debating dropping my 5mm axis with brass hit insert for the Orion Haven't decided yet. Sirus is local so I'm leaning that way. Snyder cored 185 up front with either the Apollo or the x impact.

You can also drop the wrap and go 3 vein for better foc.
@jeffcordero_2 жыл бұрын
I could. With the 4 vane I noticed better broadhead flight and it didn’t really seem to make a difference the way the broadhead was clocked compared to 3 vanes. Then it made a difference in which way the vanes and the blades of the broad heads where clocked

@@jeffcordero_ aahh well it's good that you were testing all of the combinations. From my limited knowledge, a 4 vein can pick up more cross wind compared to a three.
