Default Goldtip xt or Beman Ics

In your opinion whats a better arrow goldtip xt or beaman hunter ics ? I was going to
buy some goldtips but a guy at work offered to sell me the beamans for 40 bucks
a dozen brand new. He is going wiyh a lighter arrow [ speed freak] these arrows are 400
and are right for my setup.

All else being equal, I'd go for the XT's over the Bemans. $40 for a dozen is tempting, but NEW XT's vs second hand Bemans... Your money, your call. I'd get the XT's.

I have never had a problem with the Beman ICHs but the Goldtip XTs are more consistant in the various critical areas.

If the Bemans are truely brand new, I would go with the Bemans. If they are used, no matter how much, I would go with the goldtips. There is no telling what he hit with the Bemans, and I am not a big fan of buying used arrows.

These arrows are brand new. He had them cut and tuned his new outback and shot
them through a chrono, he didnt like the speed. So he is going with acc or some
other light arrow. I told him he should of bought a bowtech and he wouldnt be having
this problem.

Spin them first and see how straight they are.

Chances are they are not the bargain you think they may be.
