Gold Tip 15/35

[Paul Mattson]

Just got mine in a few days ago.

[shortstroke 91]

I got mine from Big Jim, cut to 28.5" with 100 grain brass adapters and 125 grain heads. Drawn 27.5" out of a 47# Quinn Stallion Classic they shoot great. I had to build up my side plate with a toothpick but after that I couldn't be happier.

I shoot a 45# bow with the new Carbon Express Predator II .600 spine. Their full length 30" with 125 gr. tip. and fly great.

The grain weight is 7.7 grains per inch for the shaft.
Harrelson Archery $54.99 doz.

whats the most poundage u guys are sooting with these shafts?  i thought about getting some for my 54# predator and my 52# canebreak.  i figured with lighter point weight you can stiffen them up to shoot good

[jacobsladder]

fountain..... I think you'd run into the problem of too light of an arrow.... you'd be around 400 grains with 125 grains up front...

im shooting them 28.5 " w/225 up front out of 44# longbow cut to center...i'm just under 500 grains.

im at 415-ish now with a full length 35/55 with a 125 gr point.  i would like a touch more weight, but they are flying like darts out of my longbow and the flew good in the predator.  i have more fine tuning to do on it, but if they fly good--then that will be what i go with.  i really dont think i will have any problems with a light shaft.
is the ultralight entrada 600 basically the same thing as the 15/35?

[BigJim]

Yes, except that the 15/35 is heavier and wood grain of course.

fountain...you'd definitely want to go with the 1535..the ultralight is very light... i think under 6 grains per inch.....another very good arrow at a great price is the ce predator 20/40s from braveheart...they are .600 spine and priced around 50.00 per dozen..probably a better selection if your not worried about using the brass heavy inserts... the predators are slightly smaller in diameter than the goldtips.

[Cherokee Scout]

The 1535s are about 260 gr with insert and nock (no feathers or point).
Completed arrow with 125 gr point is about 400 gr.
I have shot them out of bows from 40-47 lb and they shoot very well. Point weight must vary depending on bow, riser cut etc.
These are a shaft we have needed for a long time.

John...you are not kidding! I'm so happy , im about ready to buy all the rest up before they stop making them.... great hunting arrow for mid 40 bows !! and the fact that they will take the standard brass inserts a big plus!

[Paul Mattson]

foutain,  You will be under spined shooting the 15/35 from a 52# and 54# bow.

the reason i ask about the entrad is that my wife shoots them in her compound.  i could steal a few from her to bare shaft to see what i get.  i will probably get a dozen from big jim shortly to try in my bows--if they are under spine, i can shorten them and play with point weight.  i am now wanting to try a shorter arrow to try and get the point out of my sight when i shoot.
