I've had great luck with Legacy shaft's,they're tough and I can use glue on nocks.Over the years I've acquired a lifetime supply of 1916's,they fly great out of most of my setups.

I tried 600 shafts 500 shafts and point weights from 100gr to 145gr arrow flight and my accuracy was horrible with them.. Then I bought a dozen 1916 Gamegetters full length with a 125gr field points. It was like night and day those arrows shot a whole lot better and I was much more accurate with them. Mind you that was with zero paper tuning or brace height adjustments. The only thing I don't like about Easton aluminum arrows is they don't offer them in autumn orange anymore. My first arrows ever where that color and I thought they looked great much better than the black or camo options they offer today. Hopefully Easton will bring them back someday I would snap them up in second.
In case your wondering there is several people selling the autumn orange shafts on a certain big auction site. Several looked to be new old stock
I'd rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6

Hey--what model arrows are those in the original post?  Kinda like Camo Hunters, but I've never seen them in the two tone...?

I kinda like them...

Alums...easiest to tune, most consistent shafts made.  Tune one shaft and the rest will fly!  I've yet to see a doz carbons do it as well!

Easton fall stalkers. Same specs as the xx75 just different color scheme. My local big time sporting goods store evidently couldn't sell these or any aluminum so I got a heck of a deal on them. Just had to strip the plastic vanes. Dull knife,acetone,and a rag and the shafts were ready to fletch
