Those look and their specs sound just like Beman MFX Classic shafts. Beman is an Easton company by the way.

I was talking to the owner/operator of the local bow shop about these a couple of weeks ago. Granted he does mostly compound business, but has been in the business for close to 30 years and always keeps at least a few traditional supplies around. I asked him about these just being a rebranded MFX, he said the Easton specs are what they say they are, while Beman's tend to be more of an average. I'm personally still hoping for a Legacy FMJ. I've written emails to Easton, even left a message on Eichler's Facebook page hoping he could throw his weight around a little.

Beman Centershot shafts are the second traditional shaft that easton is coming out with this year.  They are an H series kinda like the old epic shafts with a woodgrain finish an HP3 50/75 grain brass insert.  3Rivers has those too.  Like the look of the Axis more, but I may end up shooting the Centershots because I like the weight and that insert they come with.

I saw them in person, the Hoyt rep brought in all the new arrows to the shop i work at. They are really nice arrows. Beman classics arent made anymore, they replaced them with a wood print arrow that uses H nocks. Both look great ,, definitely pickin some up.

I just bought a dozen FMJ shafts from 3 Rivers for $85. I think I will stay with them even though I like a traditional look.

Thanks Doug, I am going to try them out again. I think with my longer draw I may be able to go a little lighter on the tip weight to.

Looking to try out the new Axis Traditionals soon.  I LOVED the MFX classics.
