I've considered those two just that my friend shoots them as well so I'm pretty familiar with those, I haven't seen anyone with these arrows. The onlythisng about the gold tips is that they're about the same weight as what I have. With the gold tips is it really worth the extra twenty bucks to get a 001 straightness than the 003, I can already shoot off fletchings and break nock with the ones I have at 005. Haven't gotten that robin hood yet though.

Cabela's will cut them for you but I think the cresting is on your own. I have another suggestion, use a 600round 3 spot target. Pounding all of those arrows into the same target makes for good groups but you are always fixen and fletchen.
