RE: How important is shaft straighness for hunting??
If you shoot fixed blades, put them on and then spin them on end on a piece of glass to see which ones are the straightest number your arrows so when you shoot them you will see which ones are the straightest, they will be the ones that group the best. I bought 6 gold tip hunters they shoot great with field tips but when I put my g5s on the ones that don't spin the straightest are the arrows that hit off. How much money did I save when I had to buy more arrows??? I buy the XT only now and still check them with broadheads to be sure.
