well it really is a personal preference---i myself shoot the goldtip and have never had a problem--i shoot the 5575s but a grade above the hunters due to straightness tolerances.if you have a local archery shop they come in dozen pacakages.before buying tell them you want to check them for straigtness by rolling them on a flat surface.you are not going to find a perfect dozen but goldtip will replace the ones that are not--i also heard that thier 22 series is a excellnt shaft selection but they run about 25.00 more--goodluck!
