How accurate are you with your Gold Tips?
Are they messed up? or are you just trying to spend $?
I haven't shot them but don't know that I would get new arrows on a whim this close to hunting season...might bring some variables into your game. They will mostlikely fly differently than what you are shooting now...although I am sure someone may know for sure.
I say wait until after the season if you can. If you can't score a kill with .006" than I doubt that .003" will do much for ya (if that is the tolerances...a little speculation on my part)

I use Gold Tip XT 5575's and I like them a lot. When I bought them last year, I took the advice of some of the people from hunting.net and found that they're really hard to beat. They're lightweight, strong, and they fly great. They're great arrows.

I've shot them and they are a nice arrow. However, I shot the GT Pro Hunter 55/75's and fell in love with them. That's my own choice though. Any GT is a good/great arrow. All depends on what you want.

Make sure that whatever you get the spine fits what you are shooting. The spine of the arrow is the stiffness of the arrow. The higher poundage bow the need for a higher spine. Ask your pro-shop. They should be able to help you.

Yes, be sure to look at the charts for the respective brand you purchase, so your arrow fitsyour bowsetup.
I shoot Carbon Express CX200s, and would recommend them. I have not shot any other carbon, but Gold Tips have a good reputation for a solid arrow. Good luck.

I agree, as long as you get arrows that are spined correctly you shouldn't have any problems. I've never had any problems with those arrows. I think that you gain a little bit of straightness with the XT's. Good luck with your decision.
