VermontHunter Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I use the Goldtip 5575 shafts but the local shops seem to be making a shift to Carbon Force, and they are telling me that they are manufactured in the same way Goldtips are with the same quality and the Carbon Force Shafts only cost $37.00 per dozen verses $45.00 dozen for Goldtips..... Will some of you more experienced shooters please give me some input on the comparisons of these two shafts or am I making a big mistake on shifting from Goldtips to Carbon Force, please honest and unbias input only as I'm already confused enough....Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection If it ain't broke, why fix it? Are you switching because that is all you can find? Get on EBAY, I'm sure you can find GOLDTIPS there for a comparable price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitrrophybowhunter Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection No idea but I am not sure if I would base my decision on $8.00. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection No the money isn't the issue...it's just the shops around here are replacing their inventory with Carbon Force over GoldTips, and if I buy them from other than them they want way too much to cut them down for me....I don't have a saw..... Are they that inferior to GoldTips ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection Luke, anybody on EBAY will cut to length any arrows you buy from them, that is if you want to stick with the GOLDTIPS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection I agree with Gator Luke. I would definately stick with the GT's. There are a ton of them on ebay, I was looking yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection So I take it you guys don't have much to say about the Carbon Force Shafts...LOL. I'll take that as you have nothing good to say about them and you're being polite... Ordering GoldTips it is then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I'll tell ya I had all I could do to pull myself out of that shop before I was talked into buying the Carbon Force Shafts.......All I kept think to myself was nope I have to check this out with the folks on the forums first......LOL Looks like I made the right choice for a change, instead of being talked into something I would regret later....I'm LEARNING folks.....

billkay Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection "Go with the force Luke" Couldn't resist. I would stick with the Gold Tips. For my $$, Gold Tips are the best out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection PSE Carbon Force Dom's were the WORST arrow I've ever used. Terrible tolerances and they were very weak. If those were the only arrows available in my area, I'd be ordering online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say $33.00 per dozen with nocks and insert is the best price I have seen.... I'll take three dozen..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaHunter Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Re: Carbon Shaft Selection I just picked up some easton axis arrows, i am very happy with them and plan on shooting them for quite sometime. Never shot gold tips might givem a try at somepoint they seem too be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
