Gold Tip

[Terry]

As a practical matter for most deer hunting situations is there an impactful difference between Gold Tip Hunter, the Pro and the XT. At least where I hunt most shots are 30 yards or less. Why Gold Tip, well trying to buy American. Yes I know Easton is made here as well. Thanks for any real world advice.

I always shot XTs and spun test them to determine where I needed to cut to wabble out.
I did this with a dozen hunters as well and they were sufficient for the average hunter but I could tell a different in a few arrows.

I much prefer gold tips insert fact system to others but the inconsistencies led me to black eagle rampages with brass HITs.

I have always used the XT.

Thanks, but Black Eagle, made in China

I really like my black eagle rampage. The screw in insert is awesome.

Always used XT. Like GT insert fact system.

Long ago, I bought GT for my bow and then my son started hunting with me. I bought him GT arrows as well and we could interchange nocks & stuff. Been using them ever since. No complaints.

I like my GT. I have XT and Pro XT. Both shoot well.

I will add I think the hunters are all anyone would ever need. Load down the front end and get plenty of spine for your setup.

Thanks

Not at whitetail distances… but I thought gold tip was made in Mexico?

[Terry]

They are

[Bullseye07]

They are

So if you’re trying to buy American, why are you buying a product made in Mexico?

I’ve always used the XTs and shoot moa groups, so I haven’t seen a need to try the pros. Can’t imagine them being that much better, but idk.

Mainly avoiding to,the extent I can, buying from China. Easton will probably be the selection.
