Besides color, what are the differences between Easton's Legacy and XX75 camo hunters shafts? Thanks
Same alloy and strength.The Legacy's have a swaged nock end for glue on nocks.The newer Camo Hunter's have a uni-bushing for push in nocks.Older Camo Hunter's had a swaged nock end.
Cam shafts are swaged as well . The only difference is that the Legacy has that neat wood look .
The inserted nocks are on the Game Gitters .
I shoot both, my XX75 camo hunters have uni-knocks.

And the unit bushing is plastic.

The last dozen Camo Hunters I ordered, about 2 months ago, came with Uni-nocks, with aluminum bushings. The Game Getters I ordered at about the same time, still had the plastic bushings. I ordered a dozen replacement bushings so when one cracks, I just put in an aluminum replacement.
Rough Run, how do you get the plastic bushing out.
Not really easily, PeteA -
The rim pulls off if you try to use needle nose pliers. The easiest way I have found yet is to heat the end & bushing (which requires delicacy when fletched). I use a slim leather awl to insert in the bushing end, and gently pry it out while it is still pretty warm. They can be stubborn sometimes, and in those cases I heat them more than usual, and let them cool completely which only takes about 30 seconds, because that makes them rather brittle. I then use the awl to break them out piece at a time.
And just for info, I have ordered all my Easton aluminum shafts from a company that is not a sponsor. It is the only item I buy from a non-sponsor, but the pricing is noticeably the least expensive I have found.
It is a fact that the newer camo hunters have the uni-bushing. But if you look on the auction site you will find camo hunters with swaged end. I have had too many nocks bust with the swaged ends so I switched to camo hunters with the uni bushings. Everything else is exactly the same other than the camo and wood grain pattern on the legacys.
The Camo Hunter's I have came with an aluminum uni-bushing.The ones I seen with a plastic uni-bushings are the black Gamegetter's,like Gamegetter 500,400,340 and 300.I have installed uni-bushing on my Legacy's I have,I like the uni-bushing set up as I can use the same S type nock my aluminum as with 5/16" carbon arrows too.
I bought a bunch of camo hunters in 2013 and haven't bought any since, they have uni-knocks. Have been using the Legacy's for my winter archery league and cedar shafts for long bow shoots in the summer. Maybe they don't come with uni-knocks anymore, I don't know. Been using XX75 camo hunters for years even when I was shooting a compound. Used XX75 autumn orange back before the camo hunters come out. Wish they would bring the autumn orange back.
I really like aluminum arrows for several reasons, and would also like to see some xx75 in Autumn Orange come back. When I first started shooting over 35 years ago, the xx75 Autumn Orange was the premier arrow that everyone wanted. I would probably purchase several dozen, to cover all my bows, if the price wasn't unreasonable. Maybe we will get lucky if the new FMJs are a success!
I'm using some old Autumn Oranges 2016s, have 4 left out of ten I bought from a friend, I love them!
