gold tip arrows
 

when i originally configured my set up a few years ago, the chart at the shop rated the 5575's fine for my set up so that's what i've been using since. now i see the chart in cabela's for gold tips shows i should be using 7595's. what's the deal?? it seems to have been shooting fine all along. should i switch or not??

You don't mention the details on your set-up, making it impossible to give a good recommendation. Spine on 5575s become weak on most setups above 62-65 lbs draw weight.

Carbon arrows in general sem to shoot better if on the stiff side. That and the fact that cams have gotten more aggressive has led companies to revamp their charts accordingly.

If you're still shooting good, why worry about it? I use 5575's, pull set at 67#, from my legacy. My arrows are28.5" long, and they shoot great!

I'm right on the bubble between the 5575 or 7595 based on Gold Tip's sizing chart. I went with the 5575 XTs. My arrow length is 28.5" and I'm shooting 72lb. So far I've been happy with the results. My Muzzy and Slick Trick broadheads are grouping with my field points.

I am shooting about 65 lbs and switched this year to the 7595's. I do think they shoot better for me. I would say see if you can get a few and try them. Then just like picking a bow, go with whatever shoots better for you.

i went from the 7 grain / inch arrows to the 8.2 in gold tips and they just flew better!!! 70 lbs outback 28.5 inch arrow switched to traditional arrow still in 5575...

my bow is about 6 years old, Browning Prism 80 (split limb/single cam) 31" arrows, about 67#, and 100 grain 3 blade muzzys. i went by the chart at the shop, and when i figured it out, the arrow weight was fine for the draw weight etc., and the 100 grain muzzys have it balanced really well. they shoot very closely from field pts, to muzzy practice blades, to broadheads. and i've never had an arrow split or shatter except from the robin hood shots.
the newer cams and bow designs would be a very good reason for the change, that's a very good point. it's been a long time, but i'm thinking i was shooting about 240-250 ft/sec, but i could be wrong. i know it wasn't near the 300 ft mark.
maybe i'll try them out during the season break before rifle season and see what happens. i don't want to try to change things up right now if all is well.
thanks for the replies.

ho would everyone rate the gold tips

RE: gold tip arrows
 

THE best arrows made in my opinion.

IMO, based on 30+ years in archery is---there is no such thing in archery that is est on the end, as b---est. There is junk, there is good and there is better-------for each individual. Thos ehtta saysomething is THE best, I question what experience they have with anything else.

Now all this being said, I've shot many arrows over the years,, carbon and aluminum. Gold Tips are as good as any, but comparing them to arrows of like specs and price. There are cheap carbons and there are top rate carbons. Every maker has several different grades. Compare apples to apples.

I'm shooting Ultralite Pro 22's that cost about $110/doz.They are hand picked per dozen, .001 straightness and .5 gr weight tolerance. Now would it be fair to compare them to Easton Epics that cost $60, are stright to .005 and vary 2 gr in a dozen? The answer is an obvious "NO". So just remember, when we compare carbons let's consider this.
