RE: Difference in XT and Pro Hunter Gold tips?
What spine do you need?
Like I said- I'd avoid Goldtips these days as you won't know if you are getting Victory built ones, or the new (old crap machinery) ones-
I'd go with Victorys- it's essentially the same thing or better than the best that Goldtip has offered.
If you'd like and can use a .400 spine, I've got a half dozen ICS Hunter 400s (around 28") you could check out to see if you like them-they weigh in the 386-388 grain range w/ Blazers and 100 grain points. Just pay the shipping.
