Autumn Orange Find
« on: June 03, 2011, 05:37:00 PM »
I received a tip from a fellow TG'r about a sporting goods place in North Carolina that had some autumn orange shafts.  I looked up the name of the store on the internet and contacted the owner and he said in fact that he did have "some" 2018's, maybe a couple dozen but he would look and see how many he had.  He told me to call back the next day.  When I called back he informed me that he actually had 50.  They arrived today and I am like a kid at Christmas.  Needless to say I now have a lifetime supply of brand spanking new xx75 full length shafts.  And before you ask, NO they are not for sale  :goldtooth:  .

Oh well, thanks for answering my question. Sure wish they still made the Autumn Orange shafts.

If they still made autumn oranges I wouldn't be shooting wood.

With the millions that Easton made over the years they still turn up every now and then. You just have to keep your eyes open.

For me it is just sentimental reasons.  The Autumn Orange is what alot of us shot when we started shooting.

Out of curiosity and jealousy, how much did you pay for them?

I still keep kicking myself, I was walking around one of the hunting shows a couple years ago and at one of the 10X10' booths they had a small garbage can FULL of them, mixed sizes, "your choice $1 each", I went through everyone in the can and picked out all the 2219's, 30 some and was real happy, the next morning I woke up kicking myself, I SHOULD HAVE bought them ALL.

Hess, I paid $42 a dozen shipped.  I don't think that's too bad at all for a shaft that hasn'
t been made for quite a few years.
