I was under the impression that 95% of carbon arrows are made outside of the US. I know a buch are made in mexico. ACC's are made in salt lake city but some of the other Easton lines are from mexico. I think Korea makes some of them too.

Gold Tips are bullet proof in my opinion.  To each his own Ford V. Chevy V. Toyota.  There is some junk but any of the name brands are good.

YES THE GOLD TIP QUALITY IS REAL IN CONSISTANT  ,  BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE SHOOT THEM BECAUSE THERE CHEAP , BUY BETTER QUALITY SHAFTS AND GET BETTER ARROW AND BROADHEAD FLIGHT TUNEING IS MUCH EASIER , AND THE ANIMALS DESERVE A CLEAN KILL .

I have been shooting easton a/c superlsim 400s for 3 years now! can't say enough about them! great shaft, except easton wasn't thinking this year when they discontinued them! So, now I am on the hunt to buy 3 or 4 dozen of them so I can use them over the next few years!

I shoot Easton Axis arrows with HIT (hidden insert technology) ... they are the only carbon's I have shot so I don't have much to compare them to but I have been happy with them so far. Tuning wasn't a problem with thunderhead 100's and shot almost the same as my field points.

I shoot Easton Axis also, I  don't know if they are the best but they fly great for me with thunderhead 100's!

You must really like those things to make 2 postings! haha

I have tried alot of different arrow-broadhead combo s and I think GTIPS are pretty much crap!!!   I havnt tried any of the slim style because of cost but I sure like the beman camo hunters 340 with 100 grain slick tricks.Cant go wrong

I have no experience whatsoever, but so far I am happy with my Beeman ICS Hunter 340s.  Not sure about Broadheads yet, but leaning towards the Slick Tricks since everyone raves about them flying like field tips.

Will they be any good for Turkey??  The Guillotine is ridiculously priced!!  :o

Just picked up 6 Blackhawk Vapor Pro 400 in RTHD at Sportsmans for about $26.  The seem to fly better for me than my ICS Hunter 340s do.  They are 10.1 gpi I believe compared to 9.3gpi on the ICS.  Not sure if length has much to do with it.  My Beemans are cut to 27" and I had the Vapors cut to 28, so that also adds a bit.  Can't beat them for the price so far........

Your ICS Hunter 340 might have not been spined correctly for the poundage of bow you were shooting. Length of the arrow will also effect the spine of your arrow too.

Wow, I guess I am rather shocked that so many think Goldtips suck.   I've been shooting them since they were the very first carbon arrow that was made for internal components.  I started shooting them before they were even available in this state, and initially I found them to be occasionally inconsistent.  But the archery shop I ordered them from in Montana always took the crooked ones back and sent me freshies.  I've used single arrows to kill multiple animals in a single fall, and then shot them some more the next year for 3d tourney's.  I've never had one fail to kill an animal for me, and have shot enough robin hoods with them to know they fly straight.  I'll keep shooting my 5575's.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

As well you should. Equipment is about 70% personal likes/opinion and only 30% actual fact as far as I am concerned. When your equipment performs and serves your purpose then you should stick by it.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
