    Carbon Tech's have a way more consistent spine.

    In my experience the two shafts are near equals in every way. Fast, straight and consistant.
    RAT = Cool
    Reverse AT = not cool

    Default Goldtip

    We put all mine on a good spine tester, dont let anyone say they dont spine great. Best arrows by far.

    Tough and accurate.

    I shoot the cheetahs, Really like them. Never tried the Gold tip pro ultra light. Price difference might be somthing to consider. I dont know if the cheetahs are the same quality after the move yet. I hope they are.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    I had a dozen pro hunters and some were much stiffer than others in the same dozen. GT does not sort or group dozens by spine, only weight and straightness. IMO Spine is more important than straightness.

    I have seen many, many others with the same experience and findings.

    I just bought some 55/80 cheetah's, but have not shot much with them yet to make a good comparison.

    My arrows get spined check before I fletch. Tolarances on GT arrows is great. We have proven to many the difference with my buddys spine tester. Then we shoot them through a Hooter Shooter. I find very few arrows that dont meet the specs. They sure work for me and have for many years. Many guys sure are winning with them. Must be doing something right.

    I find them very accurate and great for myself. Just my opionion.



    300 57X They seem to work for this old man. I have had nothing but good luck with them. Most everyone I know shoots them in tournaments with success.

    I hear CarbonTechs are made in Korea now. Used to be made in Sacramento CA, then went south to Mexico, now Korea. The last dozen I got were all +/- grains. Nice and straight shafts.

    Won both national outdoor and indoor titles. He used Arrows- gold tip Ultra-light pro 400 to win Outdoor nationals. Says alot about arrows win you win on that level.

    Most pros have arrow deals so using them as examples proves nothing other than Goldtip pays out more than Carbon tech for those that win tournaments while using them. If someone wanted to judge arrows based on pros, Easton would be the only arrow sold.
