RE: Goldtip vs Beman
I shot beman black max's last two years, and ICS hunters for 5-7 years before that. I find gold tips do not meet thier straightness guarantee. Even the XT wobble something horrible. Neither did beman's, so I moved to Carbon Express's this year, and find them to be lacking also in spine consistency.
Next year, going with carbon tech whitetails. Cost alot more, but seems like quality arrows.
