Title: New Gold Tip Arrows? "Traditional Classics"
Post by: JJY on January 08, 2016, 08:50:00 PM
Seem to be a traditional themed kinetic shaft with nice GPI for us stick bow shooters.

Yep, they look pretty cool in person. I have a bunch on order, but it may be a while before they are ready.

I am hoping to have my new shaft design ready to introduce in the first quarter myself...also Gold Tip.

Traditional is on the way up...at least that seemed to be the trend at the ATA this past week.

I want some, although not pre fletched.  These look like they'd make an excellent and beautiful base to do some custom cresting and fletchings on.

Cool, like the footing lokk on the end, but would prefer without the huge writing on them.

Fingernail polish remover zaps that paint right off and doesn't hurt the wood grain look on their Trads. I'd bet it'll work on these too.

Stock length 32" . Why so short  :(  

Agreed about the large writing

"Short" That is far from short

When you need 33, 32 is "short" .  :)
Title: Re: New Gold Tip Arrows? "Traditional Classics"
Post by: BigJim on January 09, 2016, 02:28:00 PM
mrjeffro, I'm working on the 33" and maybe even 34" for the new trad shafts.

The writing is not silk screen, it is more like a decal and yes, it will come off.

Big Jim,
Do you have any photos of the BJ exclusive grad shafts?

I wish. They were supposed to have them at the Ata, but they were a couple days out yet

Big Jim, they keep the same I.D. to use the same inserts & such?

They got the weight bumped up pretty good.

Black eagle are coming out with a traditional shaft as well
I do like the looks of the footing and the weights of the shafts

I saw the Black Eagle Vintage at the ATA show but they were not really ready with it yet.  They lacked literature and I'm not sure if I could have ordered any.  I decided to let them sit.
Title: Re: New Gold Tip Arrows? "Traditional Classics"
Post by: BigJim on January 10, 2016, 07:48:00 PM
The new gold tips (not my shafts) are going to be a small diameter like the axis and come with a heavy duty steel footing. They are really some bad son of a guns. Going to be a little more money too but really tough to break if you can break it.

Yeah Larry,  I brought one of the Black eagle shafts home and while it did resemble wood grain, the guys there really didn't know anything about it.
It is a real light colored wood grain. Not my favorite.

I like the way they look    :thumbsup:   is there a chance you will have any at Compton this year Jim ?

Post by: BigJim on January 10, 2016, 07:59:00 PM
They actually don't have any available. ..for some reason, they thought it would be ok to have these in 30"....this was before production and someone's screw up. I have had 16 dz on order in the Kaos and then changed to these trad for a year as they worked out there 32" issue. See, I get 8 dz free every year  and I have a 32" draw so they are no good if they are only 30".
I'll probably keep a couple dz for me and sell the rest as I expect I'll be shooting my new shafts this year....or blems.

I will be interested to see what you have in 33 or 34, as I also have a 32 draw. Thanks, Scott.

Any idea when these will be available to market?

X2.

I wonder if the components will fit the Easton axis shafts and if and when we can buy them separately?

Has anyone heard anything on these arrows yet? I noticed that they are listed in the new three rivers catalog, but they are not available for order on the web site. I have used the Kinetic in my other set up and have been quite pleased with the performance durability and the extra weight.

I hefted some at the ABA.  look to be practical and real lookers.  Some of you guys with shaft magic will make some real dazzlers with caps, cresting and fletching combos.
Title: Re: New Gold Tip Arrows? "Traditional Classics"
Post by: BigJim on March 17, 2016, 09:40:00 AM
I have been told that they are hoping by the end of April...Not holding my breath though.

On another note, my custom shafts aren't going to happen either. They came back with a price that was unrealistic...over $25 more than the original estimate for my customs that is so we scrapped that plan. I did suggest to them that they adopt the idea for themselves.
I also suggested that they increase the length of the .600s to 32"s.
we can only wait and see what happens.

Kinetics are the toughest arrow I've ever shot as long as they are footed. The aluminum insert/outsert was a weak link without footing

Any updates on these arrows? ETA for availability? 11.4 gpi for a 400 spine arrow sounds tasty.

They told me May the other day when I called but they are running behind.  Hoping to hear that they are shipping any day now. dino

ABA had a sample.  They are very trad looking.

I have an order at work in for these shafts. I also have had great communication from our GT rep. They should have these shipments coming in this week and they'll start getting them out immediately. They're coming guys
