I’m sure if you call them they can set you up with what you are wanting. They do a lot of online orders so shipping them to you would not be a problem.

Thanks Nathan Shaw!! As long as I can get Goldtips, I will never shoot anything else.

I agree with that! Good carbons at a great price--and not blems or seconds. :thumbsup:

I have shot blems and standard goldtips for many years. I cannot tell the difference between the two in any way. Awesome arrows.

Post by: BigJim on June 05, 2019, 11:52:46 AM: BD, you are correct. The gold tip blems were good arrows. I was told by GT that there weren't going to be very many blems available. I chose to go a different rout since they had none for me in almost a year. They must be cleaning out the store room as everything is changing at GT.

The Dark Timbers are great arrows and that's not to say that they are better or worse than any other arrow available. However I do carry them in more sizes like the 32" 600s and also 700s and 800s.
Specs are very similar to the gt's but they have a different pattern of course... more appealing to some. Not necessarily to all.

The Dark Timbers can be had for a similar price to the blems as well. Either fletched or bare.
Thanks, Bigjim

Title: Re: Where to Find Fletched Goldtip Blems??
Post by: BigJim on June 05, 2019, 02:20:04 PM: Unfortunately I underestimated the popularity of these shafts and didn't order enough. I am out of several sizes but have another load of them coming. It may be a few weeks before they are done.

500 dozen shafts only lasted 6 weeks. The upcoming order is considerably more.
Thanks, BigJim

Post by: BD on June 06, 2019, 11:17:07 AM: Jim-

How do the GPI weights of the Dark Timbers compare to Goldtips and do the Dark Timbers come with inserts that are compatible with a weight system?

Thanks

Post by: BigJim on June 18, 2019, 09:27:45 AM: The weights are very similar to the GT's and the inserts are also compatible with the weight screw systems.
800's 6.0 gpi
700's 6.5 gpi
600's 7.5 gpi
500's 8.5 gpi
400's 9.1 gpi
340's 10.1 gpi
Thanks, BigJim
