Let me throw in my penny.
$40 Bucks for hunters is a fair price - I have seen them go for cheaper.
I would not recommend a full length GT hunter arrow to anyone - they are very "not straight"
I would recommend not only cutting them as short as you can but to also take off some arrow from BOTH ends.
Your pro shop was just too lazy to cut them - and they should have.
Sometimes a great deal - is not so great. IMO the Hunters are a poor choice for braodhead shooter.
Also - just to make it worse

- If you were supplied GT lock nocks with them - toss them in the garbage. Easton Uni-nocks press right in and work much better.
