Inside sources........lol. [8D]
All kidding aside, Tim Gillingham told me these specs over the phone about a week ago. He is onGT pro staff,manages their other shooting staff members, and also a direct sales rep for them out of their corporate office so the info should be valid.
I believe they are available in a .300, .350, .400, and .500 spine deflections. I don't have the GPI info for each size off the top of my head though. Mine are the .350's and my first dozen I am setting up for long distance field and FITA archery with glue in points and 1.5" shield cut x-vanes.If I like them as much as I think, I will order another dozen for hunting season very soon.
I assume when the public catches wind of these they will go on backorder quickly, before hunting season gets here. Lancaster Archery should be able to get them, or better yet call you local dealer and tell them to call direct to GT to place a shop order. They are in stock now at GT but who knows how long that will last.

Hey Matt...where did you find the specs regarding tolerances? I saw id and od, but nothing regarding straightness or maximum weight variation.
Thanks.

If you are looking at an ACC, I would really consider the new Gold Tip aluminum carbon. They are cheaper than ACC's, have the same tolerances, and in my opinion a better component for the nock end using their pin nock system. Mine got delivered today and I am setting a bunch up to shoot long distance with (field/fita) and I am probably going to order another dozen for hunting this year. I will have a review on them up in the next week or so.
