Default RE: straightness of Gold Tip XT Pro arrows?

All of your XT's? Have you actually measured them? If you have and they are within tolerance, I am amazed. Are you maybe talking about the Gold Tip Pros like is in your signature? You have measured those and they are all within 0.001? That would be good news for me. I would like to switch back to GT.

Straightarrow has a post currently on the second page of this forum (http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=776787) where he measured a dozen 7595 XT Hunters and only found 3 out of the dozen to be within the advertised +/- 0.003; another 3 that were within 0.008 and 5 that were within 0.015. One was off by 0.026!

Straightarrow's experience fits with my own and at least two pro shop owners I know. Gold Tip seems to have a quality control problem.

If I buy a dozen arrows, I expect more than 3 of them to be as advertised.
