What is up with this Bone Collector... I mean, to me that ideology/image is everything wrong with hunting today!  Yes, we kill.  Yes, we keep horns or mount heads, etc... but this whole "Bone Collector" thing seems like we are serial killers out there 'collecting bones.' Most of us are out there for the experience of being in Nature, for the hunt itself, and for the meat.  We are NOT about killing and "Bone Collector" makes it sound like we are... yet so many weekend warriors just love it... makes me kinda sick...

If anyone questions why there is such a strong Anti-hunting sentiment in America, well, there ya' go...

Man... those classic shafts were nice too...

Sorry for the rant, just couldn't keep quiet on this one.

Have to agree with ya, bud...seems crude and distasteful as a name and marketing ploy.   :rolleyes:

I believe the Bone Collector has something to do with a TV show on the Outdoor channel.I think it is with Micheal Wadell and Lee and Tiffiany.I just bought a target that says "Bone Collector" series on it.

That figures!!!    That's all I have been shooting out of my Zipper.

Classics are better then FMJs much tougher.

I just bought some MFX Classics and really like them! Hope you guys are wrong! Great looking arrow!

They have them both on the beman website

Anyone have any experience with these?               
Carbon Express 250 CXL Hunter

Thanks!

God bless,Mudd

This sounds like a rumor to me.  Both shafts are listed on Beman's website.  I fired off an email to get the scoop.  I will post the reply when I get it.

It's the story of the CXTH all over again.  If you use the MFX, buy them up and lay in a supply now...

I still can order some.  Who wants them?

This thread a RUMOR Beman will still be producing the Classic Shafts.

Here is a copy of the email from them.

I apologize for the previous email, but the classic will still be produced.  The MFX
Team Realtree is the one that will no longer be produced.

Subject: Rumor or True (MFX)?

 I have been hearing a rumor that the MFX Classic shaft is no longer
going to be made.  And it is being repalce with the Bone Collector.  Is
there any truth to this.  I sell quite a few of the MFX shafts and would
hate to seen them go.

Thanks,

Hey Paul--since you are talking with them, can you see if they've ever entertained the idea of the FMJs in a "Classic" footed wood grain pattern like the Legacy?

Sounds like they are just switching teams.

If you really like something, buy ten of them: Paul "8th Dwarf" Brunner

Sorry to everyone for any misinformation.  The gentleman at Easton was incorrect.  Thank you, Paul, for the clarification - he meant to tell me the realtree MFX was being discontinued.

That make more sense since the Realtree MFX were a Michael Waddell addition shaft.  I believe this was the shaft that was used as a sponsor on this show.

I like the Bone Collector show and the shaft is a much cleaner looking shaft than the Team Realtree shaft was.

All that said the Classics are a very tough arrow!

Josh

I think the MFX Classic is the best shaft I've every used.  Good thing this was the 1st ever internet rumor.  :D

Steve,
I've asked them, the short answer is "no", but if you put in an order for 30,000 shafts they'll put about anything you want on them.
