Anyone heard this Easton rumor yet?
 

Well, I was working at the shop tonight, and as rifle season opens tomorrow, we were dead slow. So, we pulled up the chairs and started telling lies. :D

Anyway, I hear Easton has totally redone it's arrow line this year. The Excell is gone, as are the ICS Hunters. Now, this is the kicker part.....HALF of the aluminum sizes are no more! The Gamegetter II......gone. Not making it this year at all.

I did not hear, however, what they will be introducing.

dam that means i have to swicth arrows because i use the ics hunters..i wonder why

RE: Anyone heard this Easton rumor yet?
 

That's what we are most upset about as well. The ICS and the Excel are BY FAR our best selling arrows. We have a lot of folks gonna be upset about that I think.

You remember the rumor a couple months ago how Easton and Goldtip couldn't GET the carbon to make those 2 arrows?? Yeah, right......can't get the carbon.....that's a good one!! Those guys knew they weren't gonna make them this year so when they ran out, they thought up that story!! Marketing.....you gotta love it.

yeah man i hate that.....the bow shop that i go to over here in san antonio has the ics and those are the most selling there too and now there no longer making them..man that ticks me off..[:@].....well they better comeout with a better arrow for around the same price if they are goin to do that

I have no idea about the rumor but, I do know marketing. If your not 1 or 2 in the biz, look else where!

Buy what you can afford to now and stock up for years to come;).

RE: Anyone heard this Easton rumor yet?
 

I agree with Rickmur if this is true buy a crap load now and have them for years to come or switch to new arrows

It wouldn't suprise me that much, espeically the alluminum rumors.

Yeah, Easton has some loyal customers when it comes to their alluminum line, but I doubt that they pull in enough cash from them every year to continue producing them.

As for the Excell and the ICS, that wouldn't really suprise me either. Sounds like Easton's way of pushing their customers more towards the ST/HIT style arrows. Limit what the customers can buy and they'll switch to the newer style arrows.

Makes sense to me.
