Oh, I forgot...
I shoot GoldTip Velocity Pro 300's. My "practice arrows" are Gold Tip Hunter XT 7595's or 300's. The Velocity Pro's cost an arm and a leg, I rarely-if ever-shoot groups with them, and I spend a long time walking to find them if I shoot one into the brush. BUT, they are worth it in terms of accuracy (flight regularity from one shaft to the next) and durability (shoot one into a target 1,000+ times and it still rolls straight as the day I bought it).
If you don't have high expectations from your arrows, then you don't need "pro" level arrows. Hunters don't NEED $2000+ bows, don't need heavy barreled rifles or $2000 scopes. Some hunters DO hunt at ranges or conditions that do NEED that level of precision. If you're that person, then you need better than $50 arrows. If the DCA's were equivalent to their competitions high end shafts, then DCA would be charging 3 times as much for their arrows, just like their competitors.
