I'd love to see them come in looking like a footed arrow!  I'd definitely buy some.

I like WESTBROOK's idea  of an aged Doug fir shaft with an oil finish look.   A darker piney type grain would be great as well.

I don't know about everybody else but I think cedar would look cool.

Footed on the front end would be really cool. I would say a nice "yellowed" wood color or maybe a redish colored wood would be nice looking.

I would love something similar to the classic Bear shafts. I bet a carbon looking retro would be a hot seller.

How about your signature ebony black and white.

Any dark wood grain  or better yet bring back the Autumn of the old XX75..  Please no yucky camo.

Slightly darker than the current trad offerings with some white on the end sounds great and the extra grain would give it nice touch. Will we get word as soon as you make your decision?

Ask em if you can get something that can be stained darker or bleached to a lighter color.....  :D  

My pick would be a little darker than the Gts are right now, but you gotta please the masses without makin a million different colors...   :saywhat:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Well Jim, there you have it! Recommendations for patterns that were discontinued long ago because they were not popular, combined with requests for darker than current GT and lighter than current GT. I expect that with your eye for complimentary woods that I have seen you utilize in your bows your personal choice in arrow shaft pattern will be well accepted.

Those are my thoughts although unless they are available in the .300 spine I'm not a customer. Even if they will be available when you announce GT was discontinuing them I bought 5 dozen. That will probably last me for at least a year.

Regards to all,
Dan

     a little bit darker than this red elm wood (would) look nice..I woodn't want any arrows darker than this East Indian Rosewood , might as well buy black arrows..

CRS

I would do a darker wood grain.  I am thinking natural camo.

I would not foot, cap or crest.  The only thing you should do is put your logo on them, right next to the spine.

That leaves all sorts of room for individuals to make them like they want.  A person's own imagination could create their own individual arrows.

All camo for turkey hunting, dark for ground blinds,  brighter colors for practice/3D shoots.  All the same spine shafts that shoot the same.
Inquiring minds.......

REM

I too would like 32.5" or 33" long shafts.

Tradition shaft would be a wood grain white cap.Easy for DIY finish with great weight forward.
