Default GOLD TIPS??

Gold Tips Pro Hunters? Or Gold Tip XT Hunters?
.001.003


For about $30 difference, does it matter for Hunting?

Should I save myself the 30 bucks and use it for something else?

What type of bow are you shooting? What are you hunting for? How often do you practice? What draw weight are you using? What broadheads are you shooting? It shouldn't be a problem either way, but make sure to check the specs of your bow. Good luck and good hunting.

Bow specs shouldn't matter at all. It's the age old question of whether you can shoot good enough to tell the difference in a few thousandths of an inch. Most people can't. For shots 30-40 yds and under at deer, save your money and spend the $30 on some other accessory.

Save yourself the 30 dollars. .002 isn't going to make any difference in the woods. I'm not sure itsgoing to make that much difference in competitions.

I would have to say save the thirty bucks for something else if these are going to be hunting arrows. Most of the bows and arrows we own are capable of more than most of us are capable of getting from them.
