The Gold Tip Expedition Hunter is the entry level bowhunting and field-archery arrow from Gold Tip. The Expedition Hunter shaft is ruggedly constructed of wrapped carbon fibres to reasonable tolerances for the bowhunter who wants to move up to a graphite hunting arrow without spending a lot of money. Gold Tip Hunters are a quality arrow for a budget price. Each dozen Expedition Hunter arrows are hand weighed to within +/- 2 grains and finished using state-of-the-art ultrasonic system that gives the exterior of the shaft a smooth, clean, glare-free surface. Straightness tolerance is an acceptable +/-.006”.

QUICK TIP
Broadhead Alignment
Aligning broadheads can be a vexing problem because arrows, RPS inserts and broadheads are all manufacturec to tolerances that alow some leeway for error. These tollerances can accumulate to make the most expensive broadhead on the most premium shaft difficult to aligh perfectly. Here is the recommended proceedure as borrowed from the Gold-Tip web site.
- Use a spinner like the Apple Spin Checker and a box to put the point up against. As you spin the arrow, you will be able to see if the tip of your broadhead is spinning true or wobbling. If it is wobbling you will see a circular motion created by the tip as it is rolled on the spinner. If the broadhead is properly aligned the point will stay at one point on the box as the broadhead spins.
- If the tip is not dead true, rotate the arrow to the high side of the circle and mark the top of the broadhead with a dab of white-out.
- Rotate the arrow 180 degrees opposite the mark and press the tip of the broadhead on the counter top.
- What you are trying to do is push the broadhead around slightly in the insert until the tip is dead center in relationship to the center of the shaft. The reason you mark the broadhead is to see if you have applied too much pressure or not enough. With a little practice you will be able to align the broadhead to the arrow in less than a minute.
Note: Every time the broadhead is taken off the shaft it must be realigned. You may need to realign the broadhead during practice also, as impact can affect broadhead alignment.
