that's what I thought. When I bought it it was listed as african rosewood???  Now any info on when these arrows were around, and has anyone seen this crest before. I got em for 1.50 for all four they are stamped with a yellow tf and they are gamegetter 2020s

tf means True Flight arrows.  Aluminum 2020 means 20/64th" outside diameter, .020" wall thickness.  And yes...Killy is correct on the '65 Grizzly.

I thought that gamegetter arrows were made by easton. Would true flight have possible put the old vanes and crest on an easton shaft?
