Gold tip blems? Are they bigger in diamter

Got some gold tip blems, 15/35. They seem fatter than what I remembered the gold tip trads to be.
Might just be me, anyone else???

Did you measure them? Or are you guessing?

i wouldn't think so. Big Jim can answer definitively, though.

I'm pretty sure the only difference in the blems are minor scuffs on the outside that didn't pass manufacturers standards, other than that they are the exact same arrow.

I've bought several dozen blems from Big Jim. I look them all over before I fletch them and all I can find different is they may have a tiny white spot in the finish. But you really have to be looking for something to see them. They're great!

Maybe you got the Heavy Hunter blems instead of the GT Traditional blems.

Must just be me, been a while since I had GTs been using the axis for a longtime.
They just seemed real big, any who they fly better seems like the feathers clear the shelf of my longbow better
or i could be imaging that too.
But for the price its tough to beat them

They haven't changed in size and since they are 1535's they couldn't be the Heavy Hunters...we've never had a 1535 heavy hunter (don't think they make one).
Often times the blemish is simply a color inconsistency or Sometimes a spec here and there but it is cosmetic only.
thanks, bigjim

My experience is that they are the same size.
