What ever happened to GT moving their production back to the USA instead of Mexico?
When and if they ever start producing their arrow shafts again in the USA I may look at them again, until that happens I will continue to support EASTON & BEMAN as they are made here in the USA.

Archery and bow hunting a "world" wide sport. We got members from all over the world here some I consider friends. Should Elite only sale in US? Should the world boycott USA and purchasing Elites products. Most pro shops carry Goldtip and its a good arrow. I got a choice and yes I got items in my house built from all over the world. Matter of fact my next bow is coming from a manufactuer in Germany! We all make choices in life. Im very happy with mine!

I notice most the names at Goldtip to be US Citizens and these guys work right here in the US. Double Bull and Primos products are not made in US now! Goldtip adding some really good supporters of archery to there team. Thats always a good thing for archery.

From Tim Gillingham at Goldtip.

Over 80% of our arrow is built here in the US. All of components are made locally and regionally, stateside. All of the fletching is done in house. We buy all of our carbon from US Vendors. The rolling facility is in Mexico but they keep sending material and machines up here to put another line in here in t he future. What this guy needs to understand is that a lot of Easton/Beman(much higher % more than Gold Tip is made in Bangaladesh) they just get away with it. Lighspeeds,Flatliners, Fatboys, Full Bores for sure. If it doesn’t say made in the USA on the label then some of a product is made overseas. It’s hard to find anything that is 100% made in US.

Goldtips my choice for qaulity and excellant arrow!

Gold Tip has been saying they would start manufacturing shafts here again for years but there is still nothing to date!

The "rolling facility" LMAO! They don't have a shaft that can be labeled MADE IN THE USA to date! If I am wrong please correct me and post up!

Dan the Easton Lighspeeds,Flatliners and Fatboys are not made in the USA and that is why I do not stock or sale them.
The above shafts are not hunting shafts, 95+% of my business is from hunters so the above shafts do not come into the equation.
The Beman ICS Hunter Elites are made in the USA which would be in the same category of comparison for your GT Pro Hunter shafts.
The Beman's are made in the USA, your GT's are made in Mexico. LOOK at the labels and you will see it!

You sale what you want. I gave you the info and if you dont believe what Goldtip is telling you there nothing anyone can say to you. Im sure glad nothing you use or sale could not be 100% american made and that works for you!

Problem being, the quality is not comparable in my opinion, I used to shoot the ICS hunters and switched due to GT's for durability reasons after breaking several shooting at stumps while my dad and my other hunting buddy kept shooting the same dang arrow without any damage.

Are you even reading the response you received from Gillingham? He told you the shafts were all produced in MEXICO!
That is why Made in USA is not printed on them! Get a grip Danno as I never said I don't buy, sell or use products from another country!
In todays market place that is an impossible task BUT I still try and purchase quality products here if and when possible.

I try and support our countries economy first, I shop the small mom and pop local hardware and grocery store first before I would think about going to a Lowes or Wal-Mart.
