I purchased some Gold-Tips back when I got my 337 in. The XT Hunters to be exact. I got around to weighing them yesterday and realized that the arrows were WAY out of tolerence, like 9 grain differential. Which to me, that's kinda important. The way I feel about it, you spend money on that you better get what's advertised ya know? Well I contacted Gold-Tip's customer service yesterday and they said if I would pay for shipping, they would send me some new arrows, plus a few extra to cover shipping. I said fair deal. I just thought I would give a thumbs up to Gold-Tip customer service, they deserve it

Hard to pass up good free arrows

good report on the gold tips...used to shoot them religiously ( the pros were advertised as .oo1 straightness and I believe within 2 gns. weight). Never worried which # arrow I shot, they all grouped pretty tight. Don't shoot them now, but always had good luck with the XT's and up, may they shoot straight and true for you and glad to hear the service was good.

have had good luck

I think that is fair that they would give you a couple free (if you pay of shipping no so free). I have in the pass shot the gold tips i was not happy but i know people that love them.
good luck

Good customer service is a must.

I'm switching to the Pro-Hunters, me and the proshop owner has worked out a deal.

 

[jonabxring]

coug, think you'll enjoy the "pro hunters" more..do they still have 'made in the U.S.A.' on them? Good luck...I thought they were great arrows.

 

[Cougars09]

Yeah I worked out a deal with the proshop owner, as soon as I get the Cardiac in I'll be in good shape.

I shot Gold Tip Xts for years, and really liked them.
Then GT decided to manufacture their product in Mexico.
I decided to look for a quality arrow made in USA. Found that Easton still makes their high quality arrows right in my own country and started buying their ST Axis 400 arrows.
Wow, are they sweeeeetttttt arrows!!! I am a firm believer in Easton ST Axis 400 arrows from now on.

GT can keep their 'Made in Mexico' product.

Victory is an awesome arrow also. They used to make all of Gold Tips and Blackhawks arrows. Based out of San Diego, CA in the good ole US of A!!

Any company can have a few "lemons" get out, I don't care if your talking cars, bows, guns or arrows. The true test is if they back the products they sell.

I'm interested as well, but have never laid eyes on any. I hate to order something without actually seeing/knowing what I'm ordering.

Victory Arrows are manufactured in ole Mexico as well.

Yes, Victory and Goldtip both are based outta Mexico Industry plants....
Long story......
Short version is that the plant now labeled "Victory Arrows" use to make the arrows for Goldtip along with goldtips other Mexico plant, but due to $$ issues, Victory no longer works for Goldtip and are selling the arrows themselves.

Great arrows, silimiar to Goldtip models; alot better Quality and tolerences....but a lil pricey if you ask me. :???:

Looks like I'll be sticking with Beman.

Beman is owned by Easton. Both brands are still made in the U.S.A.
Some archery equipment is still made in the USA, that is the gear I buy.

"Made in the USA" and labeled, stickered, and fletched in the USA are two different things.............and usually not always advertised like that.
I have toured both assembly lines in the past.......Still not bad arrows, I used Bemans for years.

Good point, "made" and "assembled" don't mean the same thing.

So are you saying that Beman and Easton are made elsewhere and stickered and fletched here in the US????
