Default Gold tips

Anything negative about Gold Tip shafts? Looking to try some new shafts this winter and was going to give GT a try, just wanted to hear some opinions.

I guess a month or two ago I bought the Xt's fletched with the quickspins have been shooting them every day and they are great. Durable, tough and they fly very true. I bought a dozen and I didnt get even one flier. My accuracy has improved greatly. Last year I use the cx terminator, I thought it was a great arrow until I switched, now hands down they dont compare. IMO

I've been shooting GT's since march and have had absolutely no issues thus far. I'll be shooting GT's for years to come.

Hey TAB. Have you tried them with broadheads yet. I posted here and didn't get much response. I have the GT pro hunters and put quikspins on a few. They were shooting great with FP's. When I put on the crossfire they droped about 8 inches. I put feathers on a couple and the they fly great with the cross fire. My FOC with quikspins was 7.1 and with feathers it is 10.7. I don't know if that was the problem or not. Let me know what you find out.

Been shooting them for quite some time. Make sure you spin-test your fixed broadheads on the shafts. If the broadheads wobble on the shaft - even a little, save those arrows for practice or mechanical broadhead use. You can heat the insert with a broadhead installed and turn them ever so slightly and re-spin them to see if they will achieve a true spin with no wobble. IME the ones that spin absolutely true with fixed BH's will group right with your field points - assuming the spine and bow is tuned properly.

I have been shooting them with g5 montec's 100gr. I have had several pass throughs in my 3-d targets. Also shot some with spit fires with no pass throughs great accuracy with both. Accuracy is same as field points. I have had no problems with them dropping.

I picked up a half dozen of the XT Hunters about 2 weeks ago. So far I've been really impressed. I has been shooting Beman ICS Hunters prior to trying the Gold Tips. The Gold Tips are flying just as well and cost less.
