The old look is back for a limited run. They are made on the 6 MM Full Metal Jacket model, but it is the autumn orange folks have been asking for.
3Rivers will also be offering them prefletched. Mini-barred cock feather and two solid orange in TrueFlight 5" shield cut left wing.
:clapper:
Love the look of the Autumn Orange shafts but not a fan of carbon or carbon/aluminum. Won't be any in my quiver.
Close but no cigar .
Wanted the original XX75 aluminum .
I haven't found many people that like the FMJs .
Good luck with that .
Have never tried shooting FMJ. But I am intrigued.

Hah. Good one. I've not found many that don't. I've got a 5 gallon bucket full of FMJ's that should last me all my days.
Thanks Easton. And thanks 3 Rivers...being in retail I'm sure you know most people only speak up to whine and complain.
I have a couple Doz coming.Been shooting the grey 6mm FMJs this hunting season and very happy with them. :thumbsup:
I have shot the fmj's. they are expensive but deadly! the autumn orange are really cool!
They look awesome! I just placed an order for a dozen. Now to decide what color cap wraps and fletchings, hmm......
What spine for a 30" arrow out of a 48# bear takedown

FMJ are some of the best arrows out there, they are expensive but no more so then a 120.00 set of custom wood arrows..my favorite shaft.
I used FMJ in Africa. IMO, they offer the best features of both materials. BTW, autumn orange has always had my vote for the best looking aluminum shaft, so I am very interested in these.
Love them Johnathan. :clapper:

Doug, I would go with the 470 on that setup for sure.
I'd go 470 with that bow to. Might pick up a dz myself for my 47 pound predator. I remember Jonathan telling us at Compton these might come out. Glad they did. I still have lots of the original aluminums in autumn orange. Love them. Fmj are great arrows to
It's a shame they didn't offer them in lighter spines.

It's a shame they didn't offer it in the wood grain too. We had Fred Eichler with all his connections asking for it to no avail. When Billy Shipp had his dipping business a friend and I had some black FMJ dipped in wood grain. They looked great but it was definitely NOT cost effective.

No way.
390; 400 on the regular.
A day after I order gold tips I see this....oh well I might get some anyway.
Just placed my order, can't wait to fletch them up!

My Tall Tines 55# recurve sure likes them. I like the weight of them. I have only used FMJ 400s tho.
OK, one more for those of you in the know.
I'm shooting a 50# Toelke Whip at my 28" draw. Usually cut my arrows to 29.5" with 225-250 grn heads. What deflection you think? I'm willing to cut them longer or a tad shorter to make things work.

I think your on the border between 390 and 320. how heavy is your insert. I shoot the 390's cut to 29.5 with a 150grn head and 50 grain insert from my 51lb at 28 dryad orion longbow. I draw to 29 and they are not the ACS limb type.

I believe my inserts are also 50 grn aluminum.
Why are the spines so much different than conventional carbons? I shoot 54@28. Which would be the best for that weight?
FMJ fan here also. Best penetration of any arrow I have ever shot. There's a reason why so many western elk hunters use them.
this is wrong,,,,,,seriously these aren't even on the same plain as autumn orange they are imposters.....Dale what happened to 1916 and 2016, 2018 and so on THOSE where autumn orange? I shoot and love carbons and the FMJ is a GREAT Arrow but no carbon just because of its "custom ordered" paint job and copy cat color should ever be called autumn orange,,,,,,, seriously come up with something original.
Looks like the name only is back--the original XX75s were aluminum, swaged nock end, no carbon.
of course which means they disgraced the name, that name belongs to an aluminum arrow that was legendary.

Easton named them, not 3 rivers. And its an inanimate object.
yeah whatever I don't care anymore about these.....
I like FMJs. I also like the Autumn Orange because they are meant to be retro like the AO of the 70's in name and color. I have zero interest in all aluminum.
I ordered 4 dozen; 2 each for my son and I.
