Easton's web-site doesn't list Trad Only shafts. Is 3 Rivers the only retailer, or are their others. 3 Rivers seems a little pricey compared to Gold Tip Trads.

They are made by Easton for 3-R's only.

Yep 3 rivers only

I bought some of them in a 500 spine.  I also have some easton epics in 500 spine.  The epics seem to shoot much better than the T.O's.  Also, I have found the T.O's to be much more fragile than the epics.  I have a backstop behind my target that is made out several pieces of old conveyor belt material.  I have hit it with nearly every arrow I have(not a great shot obviously) and they all just stick in about 3/8" and are easy to pull out.  I hit it with the T.O's and it broke them right behind the insert(from about 40 yds).

Don't get me wrong, they shoot ok but not as good as some of the other arrows I've tried.

That is the only place I know of.  Nocks are not too tight or too lose, you can use hot melt glue for the inserts and they will not pull out as some other carbons tend to do and you must use epoxy. This is great as if you need to remove them they can just be heated and removed. I have yet to have one break, been shooting them for two years now. Fantastic arrows.

I have had some break but only on off angle missed shots at 3D targets.  I have to agree with the earlier post that the epics seem to fly better.  I have tuned both types and the epics shoot into tighter groups for me with the same set up.

Thamks guys for the responses. I too have the Epic 500's which shoot great, but I like the wood grain look. The Gt 33/55's shoot well also but they come with a max lenght of 30", which is borderline on lenght with a BH. My draw is 29". Guess I'll stick with the GT's which are less money.
