Hey everyone I am looking at purchasing some of these and would like your insight if they are a good arrow for a beginner. Also what type of nocks and vanes your recommend.

Thanks.

I have shot these for the past couple of seasons. I just shoot the standard nocks that come with them and wrap and fletch mine with blazer vanes. I have killed elk,moose,bears,and deer with them. I like them alot and they aren't $160+ a dozen like easton or carbon express.

I picked up a dozen of the Goldtip Pro hunters. Really nice arrows! Very straight, very tough. Haven't had a chance to see its performance on penetrating an animal, but I'm very happy so far with their accuracy.

I did when I used those arrows for outdoor 3d. I use nocktournals for hunting. If you use pin nocks use the plastic bag trick and don't glue them.

Decent shafts and pretty good price. With blazer vanes you won't be disappointed.
