Post by: DVSHUNTER on February 02, 2010, 05:50:00 PM

darn. 200 is more than I got in her. Picked it up cheap for 150.  %t was already refinished, but not very well.

that's what I thought. When I bought it it was listed as african rosewood???  Now any info on when these arrows were around, and has anyone seen this crest before. I got em for 1.50 for all four they are stamped with a yellow tf and they are gamegetter 2020s

tf means True Flight arrows.  Aluminum 2020 means 20/64th" outside diameter, .020" wall thickness.  And yes...Killy is correct on the '65 Grizzly.

I thought that gamegetter arrows were made by easton. Would true flight have possible put the old vanes and crest on an easton shaft?
