Oh man! It looks as if they did the same thing to the camo hunter as well! Only 4 sizes (500, 400, 340, 300) instead of all the sizes they used to offer. The Realtree and Mossy Oak are still offered in the tradtional spine sizes, but none of them are what I shoot. The SuperSlams haven't been available in my size (1916), so it looks like my spine aluminum will no longer be available. I guess it may be time to make the switch to all carbons or go back to woodies for me. All the best, Glenn

Anyone shoot a 2013 here? According to the charts, it's the closes spine (bit stiffer) to the 1916 I am shooting, but it's lighter in weight. Would this be a better choice than going to a 2016, or do you think the walls are too thin for hunting??? All the best, Glenn

Sorry, answered my own question by checking the website. The 1916s are still available in the Legacy. Good thing as I plan to shoot it till I die .

Yep. And the Platinum target shafts. The only thing about the Legacy's is that they are going to be the same as the Gamegetters - swedged ends with the glue on nocks. I know a lot of people prefer that, but I like the Uni-bushing / push in nock setup better, as I can "re-adjust" with out reglueing my nocks. I guess I'll just buy some Legacy's and see how I like them. They should be better than my GG's, but I don't know. My buddy thought I was nuts when I cut the swedges off of my GG's and put Uni's / G Nocks in them, but I couldn't find regular XX75's in my size when I did them.... so I just "built" some. All the best, Glenn

Hey Guys - I am 'freakin out at the base'. All my bows shoot 2213 Superlites so well, but the last time I went to the local dealer in Sydney - I bought the last shafts that he had - he said no more.
Two questions - is that the same for you guys in the US, and does that mean there is no equivalent anymore (in the new black ones), for the 2213's??

Guys, The good news is that carbons have overtaken the mass market and many of the aluminum arrow shafts we all like are available used for pennies on the dollar from archers who have moved to carbon. Also, EBay usually has several auctions for the many of the aforementioned shaft sizes.

Cajuntec, I like the 1916 too and I found on the easton site they sell uni bushings for the 1916 that accept X-Nocks, I have used them for about 6 months now and I like them.

Cajun -- just clip off the end and install the appropriately sized uni bushing.
This idea will not work out in the long run for stickbow guys, imo...glad I love my carbons.

Bought a dozen of the black GG 500's (2016)at my local Hunting store. $54+tax. And they gave a $20 mail in rebate..... So, About $34 total for the dozen of course. I had to strip off the vanes and cutt off the knocks... Real strange they only give the rebate for the arrows only and not the shafts??? Think I still like the look of the old green ones better. These look like those god awful carbons.

bjk - yep, that's what I did on my GGII's - but if they are outphasing the 1916's totally, then eventually the uni's for those sizes will probably become extinct also. All the best, Glenn
