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. 
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.

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.

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.
