RE: Gold Tips
They're a light arrow at a reasonable price and are very durable.
I use the XT hunters. The Pro hunters supposedly have a better tolerance .001+/- compared to .003+/-. However, even the tech rep from GT told me that he uses the XT's and cuts both ends to correct straightness issues. The $30more for the Prosjust isn't worth it to me andI can get almost every arrow to spin properly. So far I've only had 1 bad 1 out of 18 this year that I've made.

RE: Gold Tips
They are very tough and good all around arrows.
I had a full robin hood that tunneled into the hit arrow, but the penetrating arrow was unharmed.
I've also made some bad shots that went through fences and all kinds of stuff and they didn't
crack or chip.
Not best price, but a fair value for what you get, especially the Hunter XTs.
I heard their new jacketed carbons are just as good, but cheaper than the other brands.
I'm going to look into those next year.

RE: Gold Tips
Good quality arrow that are very tough and rugged. I shoot the Gold Tip XT and love them. My local bow shop stopped selling them, so I am going to have to start getting them from cabelas or the internet.
