I'm glad to see this got some attention. Gibblet, That was anything but sly.

Len, I never said money won't buy a better product, and I never said the .006 arrows were better than the .001, quite the oppisite. WHAT I did say is that not you nor anyone else on this board can convince me that anybody can tell the difference. I'm sure there are some who can but I'm willing to bet 99% of the people on this board can't. AND the original question was regarding a hunting application not target or 3D.

So your telling me that you recommend the more expensive .001 arrows to your customers who will be only hunting? Remind me never to shop at your store. Are you implying you would sell a product to a customer that he/she didn't need just because it was a better product? Do you realy think an average hunter can tell the difference in the way the two arrows fly? Or do you just want to make as much money as possible and to hell with what is best or most beneficial to the customer. If you think all that counts is the sale then definitely go that route, it may also be befitting.

I didn't advise Long Round Tip to buy the cheapest arrows he could find, he was asking about Gold tips and if he should get the .001 or .006 for hunting. You would tell him to get the .001's? why? If he is like me, he is an average archer with good enough skills to make a clean kill out to 40 +/- yds and hit targets at an even greater distance with consistancy. I doubt if he would ever be able to tell the difference between the two arrows all else being the same, and I'm quite sure that I will never either. (sorry for putting words in your mouth LRT)

Like I said his extra money like mine would be better spent at the range. And in this case, that's what should be advised.
