Explore the constructions, materials and technologies behind every AXIRA arrow.
Different shooting styles and disciplines place different demands on an arrow. That’s why AXIRA uses a range of shaft constructions, materials and profiles, each selected to suit a specific purpose.
From parallel carbon shafts to barreled carbon-aluminium designs, every model has its own technical specifications and a clearly defined standard.
A parallel 40T carbon shaft construction, available in the 3.2 and 4.2 mm platforms.
A parallel aluminium-carbon shaft construction, available in the 3.2 and 4.0 mm platforms.
A carbon-aluminium shaft construction with a barrel-shaped profile, available in the 3.2 mm platform.
A parallel 24T carbon construction, available in the 4.2 and 6.2 mm platforms.
A lightweight parallel 24T carbon construction, available in the 6.2 mm platform.
A parallel high-modulus carbon construction, available in the 9.3 and 10.7 mm platforms.
A parallel 24T carbon construction, available in the 6.2 mm platform.
A parallel 24T carbon construction with a traditional wood-grain finish, available in the 6.2 mm platform.
A parallel 24T carbon construction with a traditional wood-grain finish and hand-painted cresting, available in the 6.2 mm platform.
Beyond shaft construction, AXIRA uses specific materials and technical features across its range. Each has a defined role in the design of an arrow, from its carbon composition to its surface finish and spine alignment.
Identifies a reference orientation in the shaft’s stiffness, helping archers align their arrows during assembly.
A dedicated surface treatment designed to reduce friction and support smoother arrow extraction from targets.
Every AXIRA arrow uses carbon. The fibre type and construction differ between models, affecting the shaft’s material characteristics.
24T carbon offers a balance of fibre stiffness and flexibility, making it suitable for a range of arrow shaft constructions.
40T carbon has a higher fibre stiffness than 24T, allowing for different shaft designs and weight characteristics.
Combines an aluminium core with an outer carbon layer to balance stiffness, weight and structural stability.
High-modulus carbon uses stiff carbon fibres to achieve specific shaft characteristics while maintaining a lightweight construction.
Not sure which arrow fits your setup? Use our Arrow Guide to explore the AXIRA options based on your bow and draw length.
Spine describes the stiffness of the shaft. Choose a suitable spine using your bow setup, then check the complete assembled arrow.
Straightness tolerance indicates how much a shaft may deviate from a perfectly straight line. A smaller tolerance means a tighter straightness specification. AXIRA models feature tolerances of ±0.001" or ±0.006", depending on the model.
GPI stands for Grains Per Inch and indicates the shaft's weight per inch of length, excluding components. It helps calculate total arrow weight and compare shaft weights.
Inner diameter helps describe the component interface. Outer diameter describes the shaft’s exterior and may change by spine. Check the actual values rather than relying only on the model name.
This is the listed uncut shaft length, not your draw length. Length may vary by model and spine. Do not interchange the two measurements.
