Chrud Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: easton acc I might get some flack for this, but... ACC's are usually about $120 or so for a dozen, right? Since they are partially aluminum, it is possible for them to bend slightly. And, their tolerances are +/-0.003" and +/-0.5 grains. Really good tolerances. The most extemem difference between two arrows would be 0.006" and 1 grain. Gold Tip Pro Hunters are about $70 to $75 for a dozen. They are full carbon so can't bend. And their tolerances are +/-0.001" and +/-0.5 grains. So, the most extreme differences in an arrow could be 0.002" and 1 grain. Just a comparison. ACC's are fine arrows. But, in my opinion, I think you'd be much better off to save nearly $50 and go with GT Pro Hunters, which actually have better tolerances. The better tolerances will shoot a bit better and tune broadheads a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hoyt_vtec_kid Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: easton acc i almost won some of those gt pro hunters as well...right now im using gt xt hunters,they fly great but i onl have 5 left so thats why i bought the acc, is gt pro hunters the top of the line for gt(is it the best they make) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: easton acc actually the easton a/c/c's are going for about $70 a dozen at bass pro and cabelas...i remember when they first came out they were pretty high but cabelas and bass pro both have them for around $70....and i haven't seen the gold tip pro hunters for less than $90.....as for the tolerances being .002" different.....at 20 yards or even 30 yards...i don't think you are going to see the difference...now if there was ,say a .005" difference then yeah you could probly tell...but thats just my opinion....if you found something you like then go for it....they are just as good as the gold tips....as long as you hit where you are aiming you should be ok with either one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: easton acc i've been shootin acc's for the past 3 yrs. i like them but they are really expensive and i dont like the fact that they bend bc they are alimunum and carbon. This is my last yr shooting them...all in all i dont have any complaints..if i got some for free i'd shoot them but i dont plan on buyin any again....

tedicast Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: easton acc I agree with Chrud. Gold tip XT Pro Hunters! Better tolerances for the $$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C2's were +/-0.005" and were fairly easy to tune for broadheads. The CX's were +/-0.003" and tuned broadheads pretty easily. The GT Pro's (you already know the tolerances ) required no broadhead tuning. I don't group shoot broadheads, but the GT's have shot the most consistent of the three. They all shot fine, but the better the tolerances, the easier they tuned and shot broadheads. I could have shot all three with fieldpoints and probably not known the difference. Again, take into consideration that the tolerances are plus or minus. There could actually be a difference of 0.004" from an ACC to a GT Pro when at their worst. That is why I was really turned off to the Easton Axis. I was going to buy them, but they was informed to take a look at the tolerances and price tag. Their price is almost identical to GT Pro's, but have +/-0.005" and +/-2.0 grains. At $70 a dozen, I would sure think the arrows would have better tolerances than that. From arrow to arrow, there could be a difference of 0.010" and 4 grains. If they were $50 a dozen, I've have absolutely no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] i'm not saying gold tips aren't a good arrow...but they aren't the only ones out there....to me..tolerances mean nothing....can't tell the difference...do you realize how small .003 of an inch is?? thats smaller than a piece of paper is thick....IMO there is no way you can tell the difference from 20 or 30 yards....its all personall preferance....shoot whatever you want....some people are going to be gold tip people, some are easton, some a CX....go with what you like, not what someone else is trying to tell you about this number or that number...its like hoyt or mathews...which broadhead to use...its all up to you..

For the money you spend on A.C.C.'s, and I think they run $100.00+ per dozen, that's one thing i don't want to worry about, after spending that kind of money, is having them bend as easy as aluminum arrows can. I'd highly suggest going to an "all carbon" arrow instead of the Easton A.C.C.'s. Carbon arrows are cheaper and they won't take a set bend. You'd be money ahead. I just picked up some new Easton Axis carbon arrows, love them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty pleased with them. What I was pleased with the most is that I had to adjust absolutely nothing when I put on broadheads. First time that has ever happend. I had a minor adjustment with CX's and a bigger adjustment with C2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Twice as much as GT Pro's and not as straight. ACC's are fine arrows, but for the money, I think you can do better. To avoid my posts being considered a "bash" by some, I clearly explain my reasoning for my opinions. If your arrow shoots the way you like it, that is great! Just the reasons why I don't care for ACC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
