Why did Easton scrap Autumn Orange?

I miss em too!! Switched to the Camo, and wasn't that a dumb thing shooting an arrow you couldn't find?...KYArcher

Man you nailed that!! Could never figure that out.   :confused:

A touch off topic but I wonder how carbon's that were in the Autumn Orange format would sell?

I know for a fact I would by a few dozen AO carbon's if they were offered in the MFX/AXIS line.

Thanks,

Josh

I don't think orange carbons would look quite the same?....KY

They still have orange with the NASP genesis v2,why not with the other shafts? I miss that color too!  

Most of 1818s, 1918s, and 1920 (I really like the 1920s) are AOs. I bought some camo 2018s a few years back and couldn't hit anything with them until  I painted the the end 6 inches bright chartreuse.  For me apparently, it helps if I can see something .

I've got a couple dozen of the 1920's, love 'em. Wish I could find some 2018's. Not real sure if they made them in 2020, but I sure would like some of those to.

It takes me awhile to find something I really like, and that is about the time it gets discontinued. Autumn Orange, Bear broadheads, Bear Magnum Arrows, Bear White tip limbs.....

I am keeping my AO arrows and shafts that I hoarded. I did have 4 doz. AO 2020's that I sold to another Tradgang member. I kept 2 doz. but they are made into hunting arrows. I like the 2020 out of my Pete George longbow. I do remember a magazine writer making fun of the orange shafts, not camouflaged. There was a big deal (still is) that you could not harvest any game unless you were camo down to you underwear. Easton just went along with the trend at that time.

I have to agree it's down fall was the timing of the craze everything had to be in camo. It's all marketing and who knows maybe it will come back around. I gotta to admit I never ever liked alum shafts. It was always wood for me then but now I've switched to carbons and seldom look in the rear view mirrow on arrow shafting.

[Red Beastmaster]

I think the dumbest looking shaft is the Legacy fake wood grain. I mean, come on, who are they kidding? I only use them for hunting because I think camo shafts look even more rediculous.

For the majority of my shooting I use Blues. Now there's a color you can find behind a target! Nothing fake about it, they're just blue, cheap, and as tough as any other color.

I talked to Easton last year about AO shafts (again).  They will make them up for who every wants them, and I can't remember the number but it was something 5,000 shafts per size and atleast 5 sizes or something like that.  Easton themselves don't think there would be enough demand there to make that a standard shaft to carry again and I don't totally disagree with them either. I wouldn't be suprised if the legacy shaft disappears in a few years.  dino

I'm with Buckracks 7 I love the JDA Supernaturals.

hunted with some 2115 autumn orange this year with my 50lb bear recurve,,just like old times..they just look right in the quiver in the autimn woods..lol...
Now and again you canfind them on the large auction site...I check there from time to time..

[Brazos]

AO is my favorite and miss them.  I do like the Blues I am shooting now and may buy some Jazz's in the future.  I don't like camo.  Not needed and makes it harder to find your arrow.

[Dave Pagel]

Bowmarks, you talking about me while I am off on business?  I pick up AOs whenever I get the chance.  2016s, 2018s, 2020s and the good old 1918s.  I found some 2018 Papes Bark Browns at a shop the other day, another favorite of mine.

I would find out the sizes and price he has then post them on this thread for those of us that want them to buy.
