Do any of you guys use goldtip arrows? I never have, and I'm thinking about trying them.

What size and length are you looking to try? I have some camo GT Hunter XTs in 5575 (400 spine) that I no longer use. I wanted a bit heavier arrow so I am trying Easton Axis 5mm this year for an upcoming elk hunt.. I killed quite a few deer with them. The ones I have left were only shot at targets though.

I've been using Goldtips for years 5575 XT's as well as 3555 XT's. No issues whatsoever, they are really good shafts.

I used them for several years when I started out. Currently shooting Black Eagle Rampage, but need new arrows and will order GT again.

Only arrow I've used for years Same here. Last bull elk I killed was hit in short ribs and arrow passed through. Muzzy old style 90 Gr 4 blade. He ran about 15 yards and stopped and stood still for 10 min from the liver hit before laying down. I didn't dare move. He died after another 10 min. Most deer I hit in the ribcage are complete pass-throughs.

I use Gold Tip Kinetic XT 300, with Blazer Fletching's. Straightness Tol. +/-.003 Weight Tol +/- 0.5 Grains. They are fantastic!
I am an Old-Timer and started bowhunting 40 years ago, back then I was using EASTON aluminum arrows, junk in comparison! lol
