All the cedar arrows are burning up in Canada.

Not true. Easton is doing away with a lot of Camo Hunter shafts. Check with Lancaster Archery. They have Camo Hunter shafts at close out prices. I was told 1816 Camo Hunters were discontinued too. XX78 shafts discontinued years ago. I'll go back to cedars before I shoot carbon.

I have heard so many different things from the manufacturer, dealers, people on this site and others it is hard to figure out what is going on. All I can report is what Easton told me.

3 rivers seemed to do well with the Autumn Orange re releases last year. Well enough for them to increase the size options and add Forest green gamegetter re releases this year. I have seen a lot of the lightweight target shafts slowly being phased out. Carbons are just hard to beat for that purpose. Easton knows what is selling. Seems a lot of traditional shooters are coming back around to moderate weight arrows. I think the tariffs are going to hit the cheaper imported carbons more than the USA made aluminums, making aluminum seem a more attractive choice to some, but we will see.

I meant NO offense. I've been told many stories too. What hit the hardest was when I purchased my new compound bow recently and asked for XX78 arrows and they laughed at me. I haven't shot a bow in years and had a stroke and have been working my way back, so I've been out of touch. I've had a hard time finding various size aluminums so I have been checking closely. When old man Easton was around, none of this S*** would have been a problem!

You have to recognize that we're in the vast, vast minority here. A lot of those shop techs probably grew up shooting carbons. Aluminum arrows are like round wheels with 55% letoff...antiques!

Thats ok ,so am I.

ME TOO! I like it and would not change the time period I grew up in!

No offense taken, just sharing what I have experienced.

You could try different fletching.

Quieting what? The only noise I can tell is if the tail smacks the riser on the way by or a loose point.

No, I think he means IN FLIGHT, as some fletching causes a louder sound than others.

 

[Grizz67]

No I mean ,they ring when they touch in quiver,not like wood..is there something you can put inside them?

I STAND CORRECTED! Try some fake or real fur around the top inside of the quiver. Styrofoam or an old piece of rag in the bottom of the quiver. Leather boot lace to act as spacers in the top edge of the quiver, stretched front to back or side to side. If that doesn't work, use a hunting hip quiver. Mine worked great to keep arrows separated. Good luck. God Bless. Bob

 

[Grizz67]

Got an idea...look out..found some foam dowels to soundproof aluminum arrows..small oneone on left side .fit inside 2016 arrow

 

[Delbert]

Hmmm. I wonder what squirty foam would do and how much weight it would add.

Hard to get same amount in each arrow,with squirty foam..can actually crack arrow as it expands..
