Hmm, no more ICS?

I've been reluctant to switch, but now it may be a forced move.
If I go skinny I will be forced to stay with drop aways, that is my only real concern about making the change thus far.

That's totally crazy!!! [&:][:@]

They can't do away with ICS arrows. They are one of the most popular ones out there! Same with the classic GameGetter aluminums. They have been making them for probably 30 years!

I might end up having to stockpile some Beman ICS Hunter 340's then (since Easton owns Beman).

alot of people us aluminums for target.. lets not forget

I was eyeballingthe Easton/Beman charts a while back and the ICS blacks seemed to be in a weight class of their own (GPI).
If we are forced to switch our arrows will most likely gain weight unless we go with the excells.

Has anyone talked to the company? Maybe it is only a rumor. Lots of things get said on many bulletin boards, but got to determine rumor or real before anyone gets upset, etc, etc.

I may be able to shed some light on this. I was at the shop I help out at part-time today and had my first look at the Easton and Beaman 2007 catalogs and all of the shafts including the ICS's are still in the catalogs. Now what I did notice was that it appears that Easton has scaled back the number of spine sizes they will be carrying this year. But don't worry all of the more common ones are there, and they will still be making the gamegetters.

Thanks PA.....that's a compeletly different story than what our rep told us, but I'm glad you saw them in the catalog. That makes me feel some better.

Mobowhntr I wonder sometimes about sales reps[8D]. I saw it with my own 2 eyes. All the shafts are there. Just seems like a reduction in the number of aluminum spine sizes.

PA, I think may be wrong on that. I believe they stopped making the regular green gamegetters last year. I've been shooting them for years with my trad equipment. Still have a bunch around luckily. Don't mind practicing out at long distances at all with the price they used to be. (@$30 a dozen).

BTW: I love your cable guy quote. - He's a funny man!

BobCo I think your right. I don't remember seeing the green gamegetters, But the camo Gamegetter II were still there. I can't remember everything they had in the catalog but they still had plenty of choices in aluminum. I do know they got rid of sizes like the 1918. It seems like they only have 3-4 choices in each spine grouping. Most of them it is just 3.

Yeah Larry is great isn't he. I'm probably the only person in the country that thought his movie was worth going to see. I just thought that quote sums it up perfectly
