I just assembled the new Gold Tip's Pierce Tour arrows, 400 spine with 100 grain and 0.166 points. I am so disappointed regarding component quality. The point finish is terrible like pins are made by hand and knife, not with the machine (take a look at the below video). When inserting the nock into the pin, my 5-year-old can spin the nock around, with minimal effort, it is just terrible. The lighted point is 98.2 grains, and the heaviest is 103.6 grains. Compared to X10 components, or even, Skylon Paragon/Preminense, Gold Tip is just garbage.

I switched to Black Eagle from Goldtip due to quality control problems. I ran into multiple pierce tours being outside the tolerance windows. No regrets.

Paige Pearce recommended BE, but at that moment dealer didn't have all components in the stock, so I went with Gold Tip, what a mistake.
Hit and miss for me with GT.
I have an older set of GT Velocity .006 and they are like bananas. They're by far the worst .006 I have ever seen. Not a single shaft spins without serious wobble.
I have a set of GT 22 Series Plus and they're laser straight and among the best shooting arrows I have ever shot on a 3D course.
I heard there were some big issues with tolerances and fit with the Pierce arrows when they first came out, but they got them sorted. Sounds like QC isn't what it should be. Black Eagle has always been good for me, along with Victory.
Mind you, some big bow brands are no different sadly. Flagship bows with dents in the riser, severed string strands and splintering limbs.....

Ive had hit and miss with GT also. I had a dozen GT Pro Hunters that only about 3or 4 were better than .003 when they were supposed to be .001. Sent them to GT they replaced them. These were checked on a RAM. But have seen other GT target arrows that were stellat as far as straightness and spine consistency goes.
Have been using Victory Vforce for my hunting arrows. They are better. But ive had some Victory inserts that I just could not get the wobble out of. Replaced them with GT inserts and they spun perfect. No body is perfect but Victory seems much more consistent to me.
