Autumn orange
« on: December 22, 2009, 12:17:00 AM »
Wow! Whatever happened to these wonderful shafts? I have shot them for years, and love them(I don't know why the strange attraction). I wish they would start making them again.....I'm just old school, I guess.

Yup. They haven't lost a bit of their attraction with me since they first came on the scene...I still grab what I can find. Someone has to be old school...it reminds others what a large part of their lives reminding is going to become. Rick.

I too love autumn orange. Still have a few.
I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

I was always a fan too. I believe I still have a dozen. Heck, I remember when all I could afford were Game Getters.Shot them till the anodizing wore off.
Take care,

Great shafts!  Seems like when you find something you really like, they quit making it or change it.   :confused:  

Anybody else ever feel that way?

I still have a few. Always looking for more. I enjoy being "old school".

Easton will make them again, you just have to buy enough of them.  Nobody is willing to do that and they would be more expensive than black gamegetter too.

Good arrows. I shot them a bunch. But I can't honestly say that I ever liked the color.

I have 8 1918's left from over the years, outstanding shafts. I use them from my PSA Widow 49@28 and they really work well. Not only do I miss the autumn orange but the 1918 size as well.

I just bought a dozen of these at my local shop to make up (my first arrow building experience).  Good to know that they are good stuff.   :)

Now that I know they are rare, I think I'll go back and buy the rest of them.
