Gold Tips
 

Why are Gold Tip arrows so popular? And, if you were to buy some which ones would you get?

RE: Gold Tips
 

They're a light arrow at a reasonable price and are very durable.

I use the XT hunters. The Pro hunters supposedly have a better tolerance .001+/- compared to .003+/-. However, even the tech rep from GT told me that he uses the XT's and cuts both ends to correct straightness issues. The $30more for the Prosjust isn't worth it to me andI can get almost every arrow to spin properly. So far I've only had 1 bad 1 out of 18 this year that I've made.

They are very tough and good all around arrows.

I had a full robin hood that tunneled into the hit arrow, but the penetrating arrow was unharmed.

I've also made some bad shots that went through fences and all kinds of stuff and they didn't
crack or chip.

Not best price, but a fair value for what you get, especially the Hunter XTs.

I heard their new jacketed carbons are just as good, but cheaper than the other brands.
I'm going to look into those next year.

Just one of those things, your getting avery good quality arrow at a very reasonable price. You could go to a maxima hunter for about double the money but is it really worth it?

I also shoot XT Hunter's and I love em. Very straight (so far), real durable, and overall no complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to buy up another batch.

Good quality arrow that are very tough and rugged. I shoot the Gold Tip XT and love them. My local bow shop stopped selling them, so I am going to have to start getting them from cabelas or the internet.

I agree with all of the above. I use the 5575's and have found them to be durable and fairly priced.

Well, sounds good enough to me, looks like I'm gonna have to try them out.;)

Price compaired to others of equal specs.

I would'nt use them again for various reasons. Try the beman ics hunter *elites*. Much smoother, stiffer and the cost is better.

I have tried them, but compared to the Team Realtree's Im shooting now, they are of lesser qaulity in my opinion.
