    x2 for Gold Tip. I shoot the Expedition Hunter..and I bought from Bowhunter's Superstore as well. I have them shipped to Ship Happens in Sumas, and save a ton $ I believe it was $79 for a dozen, cut to size, inserts glue in, Blazer vanes, and shipping.

    Have you access to an arrow cut-off saw and a fletching jig? If yes - then order the uncut shafts, then cut an equal amount from both ends of the shaft. Straightens lesser expensive shafts so that they are as good (or better) than the more expensive shafts. Plus it's a real rush to make and shoot your own arrows.

    X3 on the Gold Tips. I've had very good results with them for the past 12 years or so. I have been using the Expedition Hunters and have been (and still am) very pleased with them.

    Depends what you want more, speed or kinetic energy.

    I use VAP for 3D and I use Easton ACC for hunting. The ACC's are heavy for hunting and the VAP are light and faster for 3d.

    Are they any arrows that are bad? I have GT XT and I am about try a set of of GT Velocity XT. I'm not expecting any great difference except they're a bit lighter.

    I do like the toughness of GT, that's about it. Again, I don't really have anything to compare it to.

    Victory VForce HV's are an awesome arrow. Stiff spine and very light. I use them both for 3D and big game hunting. Nothing wrong with GT's though. They are very durable and affordable. With todays tech, you can't go wrong. From a dealers stand point, I do not like Easton. They change their specs way to often. Just my 2 cents.
