RE: .003 or .006
 

I never knew there was a difference, neither did all those dead animals I piled up.

Seriously, you're starting to get a little too technical when you start talking about .003"

RE: .003 or .006
 

So where does that put my GT hunters that I have been shooting for a couple of years now?Right off the bat I had to cull 5 of them.They still seem to fly OK but I would be willing to bet that they are way out of wack.
I don't really think that anyone with my shooting ability is going to notice a big enough difference in the .003 and the .006, and I don't shoot that bad,I can hold my groups to 4-5"@35 yds on a not so good day.
If all things were on the up and up and you got what was advertised and better, then I don't think that I would spend the 10 bucks on the .003s but thats not the case with my experiences so I would spend the 10 just to keep from throwing half of them out.Ron

ZAK, What have you spent on your hunting set up? I know, if you're like me way too much. So, why skimp on the vehicle for your broadhead. You practice 3 or 4 days a week and spend countell hours on stand to take a chance on what is one of the most vital components of your entire set up. IMHO the .003 is definately better than the.006 and if you can spare up the extra 40 to 50$ get the pro hunters. GT guarentees that they will be w/i .001 and 1g. Of the dozen gt advantage pro hunters I have found exactly 0 bad arrows. IMO they are well worth the extra $$.

I would not even shoot .003 arrows with broadheads, especially if you are shooting high speeds.

PA, I know that all of that other stuff that you stated can and often does make a very big difference as well. I was just trying to keep it about the straightness of the shafts. Assuming same brand, spine range, proper cut, proper insert installation, etc...... Like you said it is just one of many factors when considering shafts but one that can make a difference in ones performance.

I always tell people to buy the very best they can afford. Zak personaly I would buy them if you can afford them. Right now I shoot an older bow and XX75's 2219 arrows. Now XX75's are not the top of the line. They have .003 straightness which is not the best. But they have worked very well for me and I have killed many animals with them. I honestly do believe that the extra $10 bucks is worth the straightness. But if you can't afford them, well then you can't afford them! You will not win an archery tournament with the cheaper arrows but they should be accurate enough for most hunting purposes. Just make sure you can keep all your arrows inside the vitals for the animal you are hunting. Good luck and happy hunting!
