Thanks BGfisher.

The better price than the shops will be washed away very quickly if the arrows don't add up or work to your liking.

If the shop is one you enjoy doing business with then save your money elsewhere and help support the shop. The arrows at most should only run a few dollars more, maybe $10? than what you will end up paying once you ship a set to your house. AND you know what you are getting right then, no waiting; any flaws- swap it out.

If you don't prefer Goldtips just simply state so and ask to see what else he has to offer. If he's hell bent on shoving something down your throat hat you don't want then I'd head elsewhere.

I've dealt with both kinds of shops (great & not so great).
Which are you dealing with?
