Default Another Arrow ?

I am wondering if any one has used either Easton xx75 Gamegetter II or the Eaaston xx75 Camo shafts. I like them because of the price. I shot the Gamegetters on my compound and had no problems with them (exept for the fact they were being fired from a compound). I am going threw arrows pritty fast so I can't spend $70 a dozen on them. I guese my ? is are they any good for a long bow. Also What is the difference between a 2020 and a 2117,2117 was the smallest I could find. (I know nothing when it comes to arrows). I dont mind shoting a heavy arrow if it will still perform.

I haven't bought any XX75 camo in years because the Gamegetter II's are so good. Used to be the only difference between them was the XX75's were tapered down in the last couple of inches on the nock end, before the nock taper, and the Gamegetters are parallel all the way to the nock taper. They both use the same grade of aluminum, 7075. Don't know if the XX75's still have that taper or not. Also, XX75's are available in a lot more different sizes.

A 28" 2020 will weigh about 30 or so grains more than a 2117. Just from what I've experienced, 2117's are a tad more resistant to bending than 2020's and they're usually a lot easier to find in the shops. Unfortunately, they're both equally loseable in the woods. [&:]

Thanks for the info, some of teh best I have ever recieved. I thought the 2117 would be 30 more, I figured the 2020 were lighter. Thanks again
