Classifieds is about your only hope.

I think the Easton Axis Traditional took the place of the Bemans but a friend of mine has had two break about 6-8" above the point while stumping. I saw one break while he shot a judo point on the arrow into a flattened plastic Mountain Dew bottle. Almost looked like they were cut with an arrow saw the break was so clean. I'm not impressed by the new ones.

I have a bunch of MFX Bemans - but they are the black finish, not the classics

Call    Kittery Trading Post (in Kittery Maine )

They have MFX still on the shelf. I used to work there and made sure we socked a lot before they discontinued.

Call the store and ask to be transferred to archery. Ask for Kevin, Gary, or Dave

And Tell them that Tyler Moore told you to call. They will hook you up !!

Hi everybody. Hey, speaking of Beman shafts that are not made anymore, I have a dozen uncut Beman Hunters 50/70s still in the plastic wrap. They have been through a couple of moves and stored in an arrow barrel in the garage for almost a couple decades. I do not have the other components inserts, and whatever is used for a nocking system. If somebody out there has the components and can put them to use I would be happy to send them in your direction. Just haven't been able to toss them yet.  dana

Try the new Beman Centershot arrows. They fly great and are a very durable arrow.

I shot the MFX Classics for three years loved them. I like the new Axis Trads even better.

In fact, I got rid of 4-5 dozen of the Classics (600 and 500's) this time last year because I like the new ones so much. The finish of the new Axis Trads is more durable (resists chipping in groups).

Of course the MFX Classics were Beman (by Easton). I think the Centershot is the same arrow.

Isn't the Beman Centershot slightly larger in diameter than the Beman MFX Classics?

I stocked up! I have 4 dozen. I buy my bows to accomidate that arrow.  Love the shaft and weight. The finish could be more durable

The Centershots are slightly larger diameter and slightly less GPI.   The Axis trads split the difference between the MFX and Centershots.  I prefer the new Centershots simply due to the lower cost.
