I have looked at the order page at Starrflight.com it has two charts for sizing. I do not know where the epics fall the Easton st is on the axis size chart but it does not say epic just st and FMJ.
You may have better luck than I did or you can shoot Paul an email and he will get back to you ASAP. paul@starrflight.com

yeah thats what i found as well, im ASUMING that there axis fobs. cause the standard fobs are a bit lose. just wanna know for sure before i buy a tube and then they dont work but seeing as these are "st" shafts ide say that they fall under axis fobs. thanks for your time!

Epic shafts are larger diameter than the axis shaft. The standard FOB does fit over the epic shaft but it is loose, most likely too loose to shoot in my opinion. I do not have any axis FOBs to try and see if they fit onto the epic shaft.

yeah they are a bit to lose, call me dodgey, but i wrapped a few turns of sticky tape around the shaft and then stuf the fob on, and its fits great, nice and snug, and i spun it on a level and it seems to be very well centered as well. ill shot a few off and see how they go. not the best, but hopefully they will hold up

Lemonfuzzy & ace7038 here is a link to a youtube video on how to make the axis FOBs fit epic arrows.
