Easton Alum. Arrow Going Away?
 
A dealer told my buddy that the XX78 arrows we use will be going away from eastons selection.

Has anybody else heard this?

Ditto what mordecia said! I doubt seriously they would be doing away with them. They have got to be a HUGE seller. Best arrow for the avg hunter that they have, IMO.

Sounds like a dealer trying to drum up sales...

Go back next year, he' ll probably say they changed their mind...

Just got done making a long distance call to Easton. Asked about this and was told this was TOTALLY FALSE INFORMATION !
Expect Easton to reply to this topic and squash this before it hits the rumor mill :).

Easton would never do away with the xx78. They might come up with something better, but I don' t think they' ll get rid of it. They even upgraded the old 6061 aluminum Gamegetters to XX75 material instead of getting rid of it. Glad they cleared that up.

Along those thoughts, could they improve on the xx78?? What are your thoughts on " how" they could improve it?

By selling X7s for the same price as the XX78s... :)

I don' t like those dinky little nocks they put on them. Those little boogers on a 2315 make it hard to shoot fingers. Those nocks are the main reason I still shoot XX75.

That would be a shame if it were true. The XX78 SS is the straightest arrow on the market.

I used the Super 3-D Nocks all the time on my 2514' s, shooting fingers. I love those nocks.

Been so long since I bought any xx78`s.....what do they go for by the dozen, just raw shafts?

Hey Arthur.....everybody has skinny little fingers compared to you!;)

Although I have been shooting carbons the last 3 years, XX78 SS keeps haunting me. I am seriously considering getting a new dozen to shoot again. Like my carbons but something about those dang XX78' s beckon me!

Jim, thanks for making the call. They had me going their for a moment! Len that' s why I went back to them, just got tired of inconsistant arrows.

I have shot 2213 - XX75' s for MANY years and and am not about to change. A visit to our local 3-D course in Bow Washington is bold evidence on the reasons behind my decision.

Each of the 30 3-D targets are littered with countless pieces and sections of carbon arrows of ALL MAKES . . . but No broken Aluminums . . . NOT ONE!

I' m not knocking carbons, just stating what I have observed and what makes me stick to my trusty XX75' s.
