Post by: evgb127 on May 26, 2025, 08:51:47 PM
For those who love aluminum arrows, 3 Rivers just came out with some OD greens!  I just ordered some and if there are anything like the autumn oranges, I will be ordering some more!  :campfire:

So far, so good.  I'm fletching up some arrows to try out tomorrow. As always, 3Rivers' customer service was great.

Nice!

Yes, the Autumn Orange thread here ran for I don't know how many pages when they came out.

I may get half a dozen just to say I have some. Heck I still have some of the original ones around here somewhere. But I like new stuff for bragging rights

It's always good to see a company realize the potential of retail for the aluminum shafts.
The od green and autumn orange are very Nice...

The old wood grain were very nice. They should keep making those, maybe without the footing? ,  I personally would love to see Easton do the good xx75 in an off yellow/microflite color. Always loved those shafts.

Hell, it would be Great to see someone build a top quality Fiberglass shaft again like the micro-flite shafts ....These are some in a pic I think someone on tradgang posted online.

Really like the off yellow shafts.    :campfire:

I keep hearing about the demise of aluminum arrows.  That new designs are coming out seems to bode well for their continuation, albeit with a limited selection of spines.

Yea,I hear the talk also... it seems that Easton has been in the process of "downsizing" its aluminum offerings for a good number of years now. I personally hope they are always available . Love the small diameter thick walled offerings like the 2018's..1820's..2020's..and a lot of archers use 2016's 1916's..2117 . All these seem to be holding in most offered aluminum shafting . 
I also feel that many new and old archers are finding/trying/returning to aluminum. This may help stabilize options and availability . Least I for one HOPE so... :archer2:              :campfire:

I took a look at them on the Three Rivers site. I love the arrows but the sizing options are even more limited that the Autumn Orange (Didn't have 2018's). I'm hopeful that if they catch on that they can offer more sizes in the future.

Those are really nice looking.  Its funny, now aluminums have become traditional and vintage in a way. I'm going to check out the spines.  :thumbsup:

I looked 1916 is the lowest spine they go down to. They are 96000 psi. I sure wish they would make a 1816 in that size.
