My buddy who hardly ever gets on the net has been wanting some for a good while, I texted him as soon as I seen this thread!  He was on vacation and ordered via phone.  I just simply ordered off the web. Best deal around! Get em while they last!
Most people get rich by making more money than they have needs, me, I just reduced my needs!

Do you have to buy them fletched? It won't allow me to add to cart without fletching choice.

No, use the pull down menu where it says "select" & it will give you the options.

You need to look at GT blems carefully. The ones I have show a wide variety of weights (sometimes almost 100 grains) and they do not carry the standard statement about straightness or weight (+/- 2 grains). I haven't shot many of them yet (they are 55/75s), but I'm concerned about the variation in weight and the tinkering that will get them shooting to the same point.

Just my .02Cents.

Richard, how old are your blems? I have sold nearly 10,000 doz (not a typo) of these in the last five years with less issues than what we've encountered in the non blemished shafts. Some of the older blems 6-10 years ago actually had an ocasional issue (we were told that some of the rejects had gotten in with the blems back then).
 
They are not marked for straightness yet they are all within the normal "Gold Tip hunter" specs or better and are not plus or minus 2 grains but are not more than a few grains of of that for the entire shaft.
When they put together a set of shafts, they sort them as one would do for wood shafts and put like weights together thus the plus or minus 2g. They don't sort the blems, but they should never be that far off.
Where did you buy your blems from?

thanks, BigJim

Bought another dozen too!

I guess repeat buyers are the true test. It can take awhile to get a batch of blems and I get nearly all of them..if not all of them and I can sell 500+ dozzen in under two weeks. Not a lot of money to be made in them, but I don't have to worry about them gathering dust!

If you have an issue with them, by all means contact us.
thanks, bigjim

Mine are probably 6 years old, bought from Sipsey River when he was still in business. I have not shot many of them, but I will now and let you know what happens. If the newer ones are OK, then I'll take some.

Sorry to make a fuss.

I've never had ANY issues with the blems I've ordered from Big Jim, but if I ever did I have no doubt he would do whatever possible to make it right. Great arra's and you won't find better folks to do business with anywhere! Just ordered another couple dozen. Thanks for offering this great deal to us Jim.
