For me, it's all about confidence. Are you grouping as tight as you think you should be? Are you getting repeatable performance from arrow to arrow with your GTs? For me, I was not. I bought 1/2 dozen ACCs and my groups instantly tightened and each arrow goes to the same spot as long as I do my part. I KNOW they are well matched for spine, weight and straightness, and an arrow going bad on me at the moment of truth is the furthest thing from my mind.

Absolutely thrilled with ACCs, and not looking back.

An arrow can only shoot as good as the archer is capable of shooting. On the other hand, an archer can only shoot as good as his arrows are. You just might find out you're a better shot than you think you are when you upgrade your arrows. If you don't shoot better, you know you've got some work to do on yourself.

Go ahead and give them a try. But you don't have to get rid of those Gold Tips. You can use them for any rough and tumble shooting where you don't want to risk your good ACC's.

No! Gold Tips are awesome. ACC's are nice, if you ding then up though you are wasting a $10 arrow.

I agree with Range & Arthur. You can only shoot as good as your equipment will allow. So if you're unhappy with the performance of your arrows, why not give something else a try? That doesn't mean it'll solve all of your problems, but it's worth a shot anyhow.

$10/arrow does sound expensive. But I started thinking about that compared to other sports. How many rifle rounds are you going to get for $10? Maybe 20? I'll bet you can get more than 20 shots out of that $10 ACC.

And it's not uncommon for me to lose two or three $3 golf balls per 18 holes but I just write that off as part of the game. I know a $10 ACC will last a whole lot longer than $10 worth of golf balls for me.

So in reality, $10/arrow doesn't really sound that bad to me. ACC's here I come!

Range, am I mistaken or didn't I hear you mention considering switching to Gamegetter III's?

I hear a lot of people talking about ACC's getting dinged up, etc. I have never shot them personally but have been around quite a few people who have and do shoot them. I have seen them take just a much a beating as straight carbon with no damage. Maybe they are not as tough as straight carbon but from what I have seen they hold their own. My brother killed quite a few deer with the same ACC shaft and was shooting the same one for 3D. I had more bad expeiences with GTs than any other shafts I have owned: inconsistent weight tolerances, inconsistent straightness, inconsistent spine, etc. Spend the money and buy the good stuff, you will not be disappointed.

Jeep, I think I've just about talked myself out of that, for this week anyway...

I was looking at a 500 grain arrow, but I may shoot around 450, and if so, I think I can get close to that with an ACC...

As far as not looking back, I guess I should clarify and further say "at all carbon arrows..."
