I'm with Lon,

The 1920s are the bomb and impossible to come by.  Super thick wall but spine out well for trad. guys.  I'v shot all mine up as of a couple years ago.  They were green GG's.   I love all orange xx75s too.

I've got a few dozen vintage 2020s in the GG green and cherish them.

I shot my first whitetail with a 2117 Autumn Orange arrow and a Howard Hill Tembo bow in 1978. That brings back fun memories.

i had 6 left at the beginning of the season but now i'm down to five after a deer broke one. my favorite shaft of all time. i'm always looking for 2117,2219,2317 in Autumn Orange. i too am amazed at how fast they sell in the classifieds. i would think 3Rivers would be able to have Easton make a run of them.

I started hunting with the old Autumn Orange arrows way back when.  Really liked them.  Just recently picked up some 2018s off the classifieds.

I would love to see Easton make some 1818,1820,1918 and 1920's for us trad guys.I was thinking of contacting Easton myself in AO and the old JDA Serpents .I picked up a doz brand new Serpents in 2213 and thats what I used for Elk last year.I still have some AO but getting pretty low.I would love to see them again.

Pretty nice looking shaft. And sounds like it works as well. I'd try a dozen, for sure.

We could contact Easton and see if this is something they are willing to consider.
FredHill had a suggestion with 3Rivers and I do remember Papes had those brown shafts made for them from back in the day.
Post up if you have ideals on this.

I was as the archery shop last week and was told Easton has discontinued almost half of the sizes and styles they used to make. Carbon is taking over.

Yep , better get your aluminum sizes when you can...whether orange, green, or camo.  There is just not the market with all the carbon choices available.  Prices are just going to go up from here too.

Was there any difference between the autumn orange and the autumn hunters?  Just curious...

Still have a good supply of 1918 AO's the only ones I ever sold were to BOWMARKS. Not going to part with any more.

I would love to get my hands on some 1920's again, and I would be thrilled if Easton would make some AO'S again.
