i think it would be a good idea to get back on your medication now mildot. and if you think the folks here don't know you're a dope who's got the 'everything i have is the best' syndrome - you're just plain wrong. i got served - are you like 15? i do like your enthusiasm though, but still you're wrong. they are fragile arrows and all the talk in the world won't change that. they fly great, no doubt about it - but i wouldn't take one in the woods, and i wouldn't shoot a 3d tourny with them. the guys in my group would smell blood and destroy them.

i shoot gold tips - why, i get them cheap. just as cheap as i can get CT's. i cut 2" off each end, square the ends, and get 9-10 i'd take hunting out of a dozen. if i didn't cut both ends i'd probably get 3 or 4 out of a dozen - of either brand. do i think my goldtip cheapo's (hunter in the .006) are better than $100/dozen arrows - nope (and i mean $100/dozen my price - not yours). but when i take the time to take them from shaft to arrow properly - they fly as well as more expensive arrows i've bought. now, when i've mastered backtension with my truball ultra 2 finger, will i buy better arrows - yep! and they won't be CT. if CT could keep the tolerances and make a tougher walled arrow would i buy them - you bet your bottom dollar i would.

now, when you're questioning my faith, you've shown anger and defeat - i mean how low will you reach?
