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
If at first you don't succeed.... buy newer / better equipment!
