Any one shoot GoldTip 5575? Like/Not?

I shot them when they first came out. I was not real happy with the consistancy to have 12 straight shafts in a dozen.

I have had experience with them. I shot them for a year. Never had a better arrow than those GT's. Until i bought Carbon Express. And these arent even better really. I just got them because they flex more and they are about 0.9 grains/inch lighter that the GT's. They are suppose to have a better staightness facor too. But I can not complain one little bit about the GT's. I will say if you are going to get some, do spend the extra $10-$15 more to get the XT's and not the Hunters. The XT's have a better straightness and weight tolerance factors.

I've shot them since they first came out,1st year they had some quality issues do to demand and have long since corrected that-they are a tuff,accurate arrow. I would also stay away from the hunters(.006)and go with the XT's(.003)for hunting.For 3-d I use the 3d Pro's(.001)Won indoor world and Triple crown in '99 with XT's(mcu)- ASA shooter of the year in 2001(Barebow) I have shot others but keep coming back to Gold Tip(made in USA)I don't like nocking an arrow that says &quot;made in Korea&quot;(my opinion and right)
Bottom line is GoldTip,Easton,Beman,Carbon Xpress and others make good shafts-bottom line-shoot what works for you.

I believe that the Carbon Express shafts provide the most accurate arrows available. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MADE IN KOREA. They now have an new shaft called the CXL (.003). I am going to shoot this arrow at 60 or 61 pounds with 2.35&quot; AAE vanes, 70 grain nibb, Easton 2212 Unibushing(Found out from PDP at the trade show that these work together), and a Easton Super nock. Total weight=305-310 grains. These CXL shafts have a 23/64&quot; Outside Diameter. They are sweet.

I also shoot the Carbon Express shafts and I love them (cx 3d select 300's). Instead of the Unibushings check out the inline nocks that carbon express is now making. They are like pin nocks pretty much make ruined arrows nonexistant. The metal piece which must be glued into the shaft like uni's weighs 5 gr. and the snap on nocks weigh 7 gr. The 5 gr adapter is available for the small shafts and they also make one for their new linejammers but I am not sure of the weight on them.
