Gold Tip Pro Question

Lung Blood · 06-13-2006, 07:14 AM

I bought my new Bow Tech Tribute this weekend and I'm thinking about picking up a dozen Gold Tip Pros 55/75s, but I have recently heard that they are under spined. I'm pulling 70lbs with a 28" arrow. What are your thought on the correct spinefor the GT's?

I'd go up, I did. I've shot both. Not much difference with points but BH's are a different story. The xt's are not a bad choice. I can't tell the difference except in the pocket. Keystone has them for 55 bucks with free ship right now. Pro's are close to 90. ,003 compared to .001.

Need to know your tip wt. I use them and am satisfied... I use 28.25" arrows, but im a little underspined (100 grn) ... so im going to cut down to 27" and hope that helps.

I just started using them last week. I have the same rig you do to the "t". I cut the arrows to 28" and use 100 grns. They fly awesome. I fletched them with 4 " feathers no wraps. Broadhead flight was dead on with out retuning with a slick trick!

Thank for all the help. I appraciate it! By the way I'm shooting 85 grain field tips and leaning toward 85 grain montecs.

Thanks again!
