best arrows?

[jdb]

So whats the general concensus on the best carbon arrow?

[WDFW-SUX]

Is money important to you?

If not get some ACC's or AC super slims

If it is get some Gold Tips

[jdb]

well yes it is but I understand you get what you pay for and that is most evident when it comes to archery hunting equipment JB

I shot ACC's for years but I really hate to spend the $130.00 a dozen.  Last year I tried the Easton Axis and I honestly could not tell any difference in my groups from the ACC's.  They are incredibly tough, actually they take more abuse than the ACC's.  I shot a nice bull this September and had a pass through at 35 yds, I also shot a nice Blacktail and Coyote, I don't think I'll be spending the extra for the ACC's anymore.  The Axis is only rated at .005" straightness, but you will find they run truer than that, almost as true as the ACC's.

I also like the little bit of extra weight with the Axis, light arrows like the Gold Tips make it tough to get the 6 grains per pound needed in our state without shooting a 125 grain head.

i am shooting the st axis right now and they are holding up good, and a lot of them are ending up in the dirt   naaa...it ain't that bad, but they seem like good arrows that i'll stick with.

Two years ago I shot Gold Tips. They shot great with my field points but didn't fly worth a crap with broadheads. Switched to Easton Axis, they fly great with both.

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

I also shoot easton axis 340's, they shoot great for me and have been real durable so far. I have also heard a lot of good things about Gold Tips, but haven't shot any.

easton axis 340's
white wraps
blazer vanes

Ive been shooting Gold Tips for a few years now. I wouldnt see any reason to change. For the money they are a great, tuff arrow.

I have been shooting Goldtip arrows for a good many years now and I have never had a single problem with them! They fly perfectly for me with Brodheads and also field tips.

I purposely shot a Goldtip 7595 with a 100 grain field point directly into an Oak 4X4. the arrow buried 1/4th. of the way to the fletching. It took 3 of us to pull the arrow out of the Oak 4X4. There was Zero damage to the point end of the arrow, zero damage to the shaft and zero damage to the nock end. We flexed and examined the arrow for quite a few minutes before we were sure the arrow was safe to shoot again.

I went right back to shooting that arrow and it flew perfectly. I finally lost that trophy to a Robinhood. Otherwise I would still be shooting it!

For my money there is no better arrow than a Goldtip! All of my arrows weigh in at 1/10th of a grain of each other.

GOLD TIP ARROWS ARE HORIBLE NOT STRAIGHT AND I THINK SOME BODY NEEDS A NEW SCALE BECAUSE YOU CANT GET A DOZEN TO MATCH , BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK FOR HUNTING IS THE AXIS SHAFT , AND IF THATS OUT OF YOUR BUDGET TRY CARBON IMPACT , GREAT SHAFT, BUT THE BEST IS EASTON ACC ,

Last year I went with Gold Tips and Blazer vanes.  My groups shank dramatically, with field points and broadheads.

[Intruder]

I've heard from several sources that the quality of Gold Tips has gone down since they started making them out of country.  Evidently it appears to be a QC issue.... inconsistencies in weight and higher failure rate. 

I was always under the impression that these were bulletproof. 

Anyone else heard of this happening over the last couple years?

I use the Beman ICS 340, seems to work out just fine for me.
