You guys know how the arrow buying game goes. If every arrow manufacturer only sold the " perfect" arrow no one would be able to afford to buy them(at least I wouldn' t). If you buy lower grade arrows then you know exactly what to expect (everyone here with any common sense does). If you want 12 " perfect" arrows then you buy the more expensive arrow with higher tolerances, that have been presorted. You know when you make the decision which types of arrows you are puchasing. For most of us, a dozen gold tips will do just fine as very few people actually shoot good enough to tell the difference between a " perfect" (not that such a creature even exits) and an " almost perfect" arrow.
