Title: Easton Legacy shafts
Post by: mike g on April 23, 2014, 10:17:00 AM
I was just on the Easton web site, And they didn't even list the Legacy shaft.
   Anyone know if they discontinued them....?

They have a few web sites now it looks like.

EastonArchery.com is target only and EastonHunting.com is bowhunting shafts.

http://www.eastonhunting.com/products/arrows/material/aluminum

They are still showing them on the hunting site.

I wish they didn't have the swaged nocks, and I would use them. But the camo hunters are pretty cool too.

I cut them off and put unibushings in them.

Me too!!  They are the ONLY shafts made today that still allow the use of glue on index nocks.  STILL the BEST nocks going IMO!

Why buy those and have to cut off the swage when there are several shafts that already are set up for uni-bushings or super uni-bushings??

What are the spine weights for 2216 and 2217?  I currenty have some 2215 that work from my 63# MOAB.  Also, 2020 work great from the MOAB.  As I remember 2215 shoot OK from my Big River 66# recurve, 2315 work good as well, all are pushing 160 plus grain heads.

Hey Moebow, check out the Easton Blues and Legacys.  They both have the swaged nocks.  Cheaper too!

I would much rather have swaged nocks too. I shoot Legacy's but use Blues for most of my shooting. Both have swaged nocks.

I don't think they still make Blues shafts. They were the best value out there. I shot my deer this year with an Easton Blues. My next batch of cheapies will be Jazz.

So what's the advantage oh the swaged nock?
Title: Re: Easton Legacy shafts
Post by: Caranthir on April 27, 2014, 05:56:00 PM
jkm97 the advantage is that you can use any glue on nock that you prefer. Some like index nocks, some like snap ons, some like Nirk nocks.  More choices.  Shoot straight, Rich

Got you. I always liked easton super nocks anyway, so I guess the unibushing shafts are good for me. But I love the looks if the legacy.

You guys are tempting me...

What does a Bohning Classic weigh? Has anyone found that they tune different than a camo hunter?

I'm unfamiliar with the 2217 size listed on Easton's website for the Legacy. I wonder if it's a typo?
Title: Re: Easton Legacy shafts
Post by: hvyhitter on April 30, 2014, 05:11:00 PM
I'm guessing its a typo, looked all over the site for any other referance to them, but no joy. I would like to see them bought back, Im down to my last 3 dz 2217 JD naturals...........

the advantage is when you are having a good day shooting you dont ruin it by splitting arrows you just lose a nock that you can pull out your quiver and take a bit of or pine pitch and tadaaa your in business
