Default Gold Tip Pro Hunter

Anybody use these? Impressions?

They claim to be "the most consistent carbon hunting arrows in the world". Straightness of +/- .001" and weight tolerance of 1 grain per dozen.

I'm always looking to try new stuff.

What about their Gladiator broadheads?

Mike ! I just ordered a dzn of the 3D pro's for hunting with 4" vanes ,We'll see how they work out for me .i was going to order the easton Axis's S/T's but I hear there a little difficult to put the insert's in and I'm not willing to put out the money so that my shop might make a mistake with them. They sell Gold Tip's and Carbon Forse which are easy to put together but they have some kid's working in the shop and if they screw them up I don't need the hastle of trying to prove they screwed up.

Mike.

I have not used the new arrows but I do use the Gladiator broad heads they fly great and leave a wicked hole.
The only draw back in the blades are carbon steel and get like a black rust on them but they do hold a good sharp edge.

Next time we meet up at Red's remind me to bring a couple along so you can see what I am talking about.

If you go that way I'd reccomend their nock inserts for the g-nocks. Makes for a real nice finished arrow. As far as their broadheads they seem to be readily available on ebay for a good price. I think 5shot did a review on them.

I use last years 7595 3D Pro's and I love them. Very consistant arrows. I also agree with the comment about using the G-nock inserts. I can guarantee you they will save you a few arrows. GT are tough, but busting nocks will bust the back end of the arrow with these, unless you have the nock insert glued in. Trust me on this, buy the inserts.

I will shoot lighted nocks in these, but thanks for the heads up. I wonder if Eastons Super Uni Nock will work.

Some numbers and results that may (or may not) help you make a decision:

Gold Tip Pro 400's shot from a Bowtech Patriot single cam at 67#
7.4G/inch
Shaft length is 25 3/4
Factory inserts
Gold Tip unibushing with Easton G-Nock
5" feathers
100G tips

FOC is 10.6%
Weight is 344G

I can manage 3" groups with these at 40 yards when I know I haven't blown the shot or the wind hasn't played factor in aiming. Accuracy drops off past 40 yards - a product of the large feathers no doubt, but maybe 3 inchers work better.

Just got myself a dozen, with the new GT series nocks. They fly great, providing your bow is well tuned. For the price of these shafts and the result I get with them, I am very pleased.
I've not tried the Gladiator broadheads therefore I cannot comment on how it works.

Ampa are you saying these shafts are harder to get to fly correctly if your bow is not perfectly tuned? I'm interested to know what lead you to that conclusion. Are they any harder to shoot with than say an ACC?
