Anyone use The above shafts for hunting and your thoughts and experiences with them. Thinking about using the 1916 for hunting.

I assume you mean Easton. They have a line of aluminum shafts that are silver and called "Platinum".
Haven't tried them myself, but thought about getting some. They are inexpensive and look cool, though maybe a little conspicuous for hunting. Be great for practice and 3D, though.

I shoot the Platinums in 1816 and 1916. Shoot a doe this past year with one, she didn't voice an opinion either way. If you worried about the color go to the XX75 Camo's, about the same price.

I like them,they are like the old Jim Dougherty natural shafts.I made up some for my niece in a 1516,look great with pink feathers.They don't come in a 2018 size,but would use them in the 2016 and 1916 size.I'm thinking of getting some the next time I need some aluminum.

I use 2114 size in my 55lb. bows. It is one of the last shafts you can get a variety of sizes. I made mine blue cap with blue and white spliced feathers. Red also looks great!!.

I use the 1913 in my target bow. I had the 1916 and tried them and they fly great. I'm not to worried about color. I figure some shoot the gold tips and they are about the same color as the old micro flight arrow shafts. The lighter color seams to help these old eyes with sighting down the shaft better.
