Title: Easton "Gamegetters"
Post by: slow walker on May 21, 2007, 05:23:00 PM
Does anyone know if Easton is still manufacturing these in 2018?  If so, where's a good place to buy?  Thanks

If you are talking about the all green ones,they were discontinued. They do carry Gamegetter II's,they are a camo arrow.

I think the GGII's are discontinued also. Some dealers still have some in stock. Better hurry. Hap

Their website shows them (2018) being produced in the Classic only.

I ran accross some green Gamegetters today in Dunhams sportin goods. $25 a half dozen for vane arrows, not much of a deal.

I may be wrong but, I think the day of the diameter and wall thickness numbered alumium shafts are on the way out. I heard (repete heard) that in the near future there will only be deflection numbered shafts.

Con... don't have an answer for your question... just wanted to say howdy.  :wavey:  

Troy... I suspect you are right. As an old aluminum arrow dude, I think the change just sucks. Looks like there's gonna be fewer choices.

It's already here. Easton still makes the XX75 Gamegetter. Now it is black colored and sizes are 500, 400, 340 and 300. The 500 is a 2016 but don't know what the rest are. The 2018 is made only in the Legacy and Camo Hunter's.

Does anyone know what the 300 Gamegetter is in the diameter/ wall thickness nomenclature. It uses 2317 components but I don't know what it is. Like Charlie, I'm an old aluminum guy and I'm shooting 2317s most of the time these days. These shafts appear to be a good value from most sources.Thanks, Grant

The old XX75's with uni bushings are now the camo gamegetters. Still with the dia & wall thinkness markings. They do have a new all black XX75 gamegetter with the deflection markings on them, and also in fine print there likeness to. With glue on nocks. Example 400's equal to 2117's. They do have a great rebate going on these black fletched shafts $20.00 back per dz!!!! Depending on you area should be around $40.00 after rebate per dz fletched.

They don't make anything for women, youth  and lighter bow shooters anymore? Like 1916's, 1816's etc. ?
Title: Re: Easton "Gamegetters"
Post by: Kelly on May 23, 2007, 06:14:00 PM
Sure they do! 1816 & 1916 are made in three different models. Jazz, Camo Hunter and Platinum

Looks like the Easton site offers those sizes in a "Gold Stalker" and "Fall Stalker". Don't know for what price. The site shows the Camo Hunter being offered only in the new limited sizes if you scroll to the bottom of that page.

Now that's just plain wrong.  What is this world coming to?  We got folks running around with their hair on fire trying to fix stuff that ain't broke.  Why is that?  It's a mystery to me   :banghead:    :confused:  ...Van

I bought a bunch of 1920s from Kelly before he retired. Boy,it does my heart good to look at 'em!
I don't know what aluminum would spine 65lb anymore.

John, I think a 2018 spines 67# or thereabouts.
