Gold Tip Traditional Carbon Bare Shafting Test Kit Review

The part# is cut6x you can select the length and add it to your cart.

Our Traditional Only Test Kit (Kit B) would be perfect for you. This is item 6780X.

This kit comes with a 340 spined shaft in it. I ended up messing up the shafts in my kit by cutting them too short during the testing phase, but it was ok because I found out what shaft I needed and was able to go to a local archery shop and buy a couple of those specific shafts and continue setting up my bow that way. If you can't find a kit with a 300 shaft just buy one at a local shop.

The 500, 400, and 340 will all be 32 inches. The 600 will be 30 inches.

If you are just trying to figure out what point weight to shoot then you would have them cut. But if you are trying to figure out what spine and length works with a set field point weight then you would want to start off full length.

Yes most definitely cut the arrows to your length to get an accurate feel for what tip weight works best for you.

Unless you have great form bare shaft tuning is tough to obtain consistent readings. I'm assuming you are right handed so you could buy a test kit and get a basic idea as to which spine(s) are going to be weak (nock left) and make a determination. As to whether full length or cut, that's up to you. You indicate that you shoot 29.5 but is that your draw or your typical arrow length you prefer? Do you prefer your arrows close to the rest or a certain length beyond? If you are basically starting out I think 3Rivers could get you close with the spine for your bow and once you add some feathers should work out.

I would recommend tuning the exact same brand and model arrow for consistent results

I would just get the Gold Tip test kit if those are the arrows you plan to use.

Since you eventually intend on buying a set of Goldtip shafts I would buy the appropriate Goldtip test kit. By doing this you eliminate any differences in the shafts that may exist between the two brands.

The 400 is 32 inches long.

400 spine is 32 inches uncut. The 500 spine is 32 inches also. 600 is 30 inches.

32 inches

Yes it will have the spine printed on each shaft.

Sent from my U.S.Cellular© Smartphone Yes they do.

Yes, the spine number is written on the bare shaft arrows.

Yes the spine is written in the shaft.  Zach Stokes

Yes, these are simply gold tip arrows taken from package of different spines to make a test kit. Gold tip clearly display the deflection for spine a bit under the crown where the branding is. You won't be able to mistake the spine of any one shaft. Recommend buying four test kits, fletch two keep two bare shaft.

Yes. 

These come as bare shafts

No. These are bare shafts.  Bryan Black

No fetching, they are bare shafts. Get Outlook for Android  

No, it's a kit for testing bareshaft flight of different spine arrows, so they come bare, no fletchings.

No they do not, but the purpose of the test is to see which bareshaft your bow likes. If you add fletching they all will fly about the same. Defeats the purpose of buying a test kit. Also buy the tip kit and you will have everything you need to find the bareshaft that your bow likes best.  Sent from my iPhone

They do not come fletched. Without feathers is the best way to tell if your spine is correct.

No they do not.
