Nugent Goldtips?

[jkm97]

Does anyone shoot these? If so, how well do feathers stick? I've heard there might be an adhesion issue...

[Car54]

If there dipped like the camo ones,  you shouldn't have any problems.  I don't

[jkm97]

Not sure what finish is on them, haven't seen them in person. But I read online reviews which suggested adhesion issues with plastic vanes, not sure about feathers. I imagine a wrap would solve the issue though...

As soon as Big Jim gets some 7595s in we may find out...

Haven't had a problem with feathers using fletch tape, but I have had problems with brass inserts. Ended up using epoxy to hold them in.

I have shot them for several years no issues at all.

Thanks guys. Strange on the inserts. If I try them it will be with 100 grain brass, so that could be a concern.

[jkm97]

They would look nice covered in blood....

Ive never had a problem. I use the steel force Fletch glue for the feathers, inserts and all. Ive never had a problem i felt was due to adhesion.

work great for me I have the manly pink ones!

[Brianlocal3]

I tried some of the white ones and had no issues

[jkm97]

Thanks guys

I used Goat Tuff for fletchings, and Kimsha hot melt for brass inserts. No problems yet.

I've got 6 of them fletched with fluflu's. Been shooting them almost 5 yrs with no problems.

I like shooting them and they do look good covered in blood.  The only thing I didn't like was that the finish is slightly rough and I had several animals hear the arrow while I was drawing. I switched to axis arrows to fix this.  Good tough arrows though.

[TOEJAMMER]

I have a number of them purchased and fletched up with feathers quite a few years ago without experiencing any problems.

They are a few grains lighter than the wood grain. The 75/95 Nugents are a 340 spine. 75/95 wood grain spine at 300 according to Big Jim.

[jkm97]

Says the same on Goldtips website, which is why I'm interested in them. Their spine and weight might work out perfect for me. I ordered one to test, so we will see.
