    Rick I had been using the CX200 and Maxima 250 and just last week I have switched to the Gold Tip XT Hunters.
    For the price I can't go wrong and after some research I decided to go with them. I will be fletching them this week and once I get this done and some shooting in I will give you a report if you like.

    Sure Tony, I'll look for it. I think I might just stand pat being I have 9 good ones left although I might buy a dozen of something just to have on hand. Might even buy a dozen XX75's just to fool around with and see how I like them.

    I just started using the pile driver 350s. They are a little heavier than I was hoping but I like shooting them so far.

    LOL! I have a bunch of those and I still use them. I shot my 8 pt. last year with a CX300. I too am thinking about upgrading my older arrows. Right now I plan to buy CX Maximas.

    Do you want to sell those CX 300's?

    I've been shooting Gold Tip Pro Hunters the past two seasons and just picked up another dozen for this year. So far I have been very happy with their peformance both regarding accuracy as well as performance in the field. I've hit two deer now in the shoulder and gotten great penetration on both with quick recoveries. A friend accidentally missed the target here at our office while shooting my arrows and put one clean through our garage door. Aside from some fletching damage the arrow was still in perfect shape. I will probably keep shooting them until I see a compeling reason to change.

    I am happy shooting both 340 and 400 Beman ICS hunters. They are durable, affordable, and blast right through deer.

    I'm right there with you guys except mine have a different label and cost less (Cabela's Carbon Stalker Extreme .003 Straightness, 9.3GPI, and $50/dozen raw shafts) .....still AMERICAN MADE though, which is important to me.......GT's and CX's are NOT American Made.....:( :mad: :confused:
