Field notes

This is the 260 spine of the Easton 5mm Axis, a 5mm micro (.204 in ID) shaft with a.204 in inside diameter. In this spine it weighs 11.5 grains per inch. A 260 spine sits at the stiff end of the range, for heavy compound draws and heavier points.

Because the bore is.204 in, it takes the Easton X nock (9 gr) and the Easton ST Axis HIT insert (16 gr), and it threads to the 8-32. Those do not change with spine; only the GPI move across the table.

Spine is a starting point, not a guarantee: a 260 from one brand can differ from another. Read your exact draw weight and arrow length on the maker chart or bare-shaft test before cutting a dozen, and keep the finished arrow above the 5-grains-per-pound floor.
