Carbon Express or GoldTip?
I currently shoot GTip 5575 Expeditions, but am thinking about getting new arrows, just wanting some feedback on what you guys shoot in a carbon arrow? Are the Carbon Express' pretty good?

I have the Gold Tip Pro Hunters5575, and love them. Withthe little bit if $ back from Uncle Sam I am going to buy another dozen and get them blazed and wraped.

Expeditions: Gold Tip’s very popular Hunter Series arrows have a new name and some awesome new features. Each dozen Expedition Hunter arrows are hand weighed to within +/- 2 grains and are finished using state-of-the-art ultrasonic finishing system giving them a smoother, cleaner finish. The Expedition Hunter features a straightness tolerance of +/-.006”, comes standard with GT Series nocks and inserts and is available in Black or Advantage Timber finishes.
Pro Hunters: Pro Hunter shafts are guaranteed to the most consistent graphite hunting arrows in the world. Each arrow is tested to a straightness tolerance of +/-.001” and weight tolerance of one grain per dozen to make them the most accurate wrapped graphite arrow ever built. Pro Hunter shafts come standard with GT Series nock and inserts, and are available in Black or Advantage Timber finishes.

Deffinetly Gold Tips, the pro hunters have better tolerances than the carbon expresses and if your talking about the maxima hunters, $120 a dozen fletched, no thanks.

Yea, I seen that on the CE Maxima's....that's why I was asking, I did not know if they were that much better, I have been shooting GT for years, but the "entry level" Expeditionmodel, so I think I will upgrade to the Pro Hunter this year.

Honestly I dont think you will know the difference between the XT Hunters and the Pro Hunters unless your a very very good competition shooter. Personaly I'd save a few bucks and go with the XT's
