I totally agree and I am going towrite a letter to Gold Tip......

I am lucky I have the tools I do... I am very sure most bow hunters do not..... I am not a machinist in any sense, but like you said - it doesnt take but a second to check every 5th - 10th part and with the CNC Lathes that are available now - with auto feed - you name it.... there is NO excuse for a tolerance thats out that bad... I can see the inside diameter of a shaft being off a little due to the resin / shrinkage etc... But the mandrels they build them on are VERY tight - they have to be..... I didnt have any problems with the shafts... its the inserts that were off.... the shafts were very close.
