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 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. :)

I was always under the impression that these were bulletproof.
Anyone else heard of this happening over the last couple 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

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.
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.
