Well I am thinking of getting a wider diameter arrow to compete with this summer. A lot of the local guys like the pro series 22's. Anyone know how accurate their tolerance claims are on weight and straitness? How about spine tolerances on these?

I have been shooting a lot of spots indoor lately and can't even count the number of extra 10's I would have had each session with a wider shaft, so I think I will be changing things up for 3D's.

Any other suggestions on shafts that are wider in the same price range that will allow me to use inserts/4" vanes for bowhunter class? I will be shooting a 27 1/2" arrow @ 72lbs @ 29" draw length.

You can check all the specs on all the arrows at www.goldtip.com.

If you are looking for a really BIG arrow then take a look at their new 30 X. This one is 26/64".

Me, I shoot light weight so can't handle the gr/inch for 3D, but most likely I'll take a serious look at the X-Cutter Pro's. Probably end up the 22 Series Pro's for hunting.

Rick I shoot the Seriess 22 Ultralight Pro's both for 3-D and hunting, my setup is a Bowtech BlackKnight 29" 62 lbs, the arrow is 29" with nock adapters and an 85 gr point for a total weight of approx 350 gr. Chrono speed is 289 fps. The shaft is a very stiff shaft and I am definately at the top of what I would want for spine but it tunes well and drives tacks for accuracy. As far as hunting goes last season was my first shooting this arrow, I managed to take a coyote and a nice buck but dont count on reusing the arrows like you would a thick walled shafted arrow. The coyote arrow broke after a pass though, another arrow I had shot at a fox and missed broke when entering the ground I realize this is a small sample but I dont think they are the most durable hunting arrow. As an all around arrow they are pretty good, as a 3D shaft I love them. Maybe we will hear from others. This is the buck I took with a Series 22 and a 85 gr Stinger.
