Gold tip traditional blems

[Thedeerfarmer]

Hi, all! I've been researching different arrows and the gold tip traditional blemish arrows caught my eye awhile ago. I want to go to a arrow system with easier to find components. What diameter/base shaft are the blems? I can't seem to pin that down. Thanks for any help!

The blemished arrows are the exact same arrow as the normal ones. "blemished" is a mess-up in the coloring of the arrow, not the sizing or spine... etc.

It should say on the arrow itself. I have purchased blems but I accidentally bought the spine too heavy, but other than that there was nothing wrong with them!

I have about 4 dozen blems. I won't buy non blems any longer.

They are the standard Gold Tip .246 components. The Trad Classics are .204 but those aren't the blems that Big Jim sells.

They use the standard GT hunter and Hunter XT components. I have several dozen and they are great!!! Never found anything wrong, don't know why they are blems!!!!

Thanks for the input everyone! Maybe I'll give some a try

If you’re going to try them, Black Widow (the bow maker) has them for $71 for an uncut dozen.

Big Jims bow company used to get them now and then.

Look on EBay for GT blems. Big Jim has went to “dark timber” shafts. They are $59.99 with free shipping. Comes with nocks and inserts...

My buddy buys and shoots these. Can’t hardly tell they’re bless most of the time and for the price it doesn’t hurt as much when you lose one.

As others have said the blems are fine, I've bought several dozen with no problems

Any reason to use the xt version vs these or reg 246 black gold tips?

 

[Wrench]

Mine are just 400's and 500's.

I have been shooting the blems for at least 10 years. Like others have already mentioned, they are the same arrows as the regular Gold Tip Traditionals, but with some cosmetic flaws. Most of the time I cant even find the flaws.

I’ve shot them for a long time , big Jim’s used to sell them, I’ve never had issues. There just the regular gold tip hunters with a fake wood coatin. Standard diameter I think 246. There cheap if for some reason u don’t like em, your not out to much

I’ve shot these for years. I still have a few dozen 35-55 and 55-75s in the wrapper. Very tough arrow.

 

[Jeremy.kemper91]

I love mine. I’ve shot them into all kinds of stuff stump shooting and such. They’re tougher than wood pecker lips.
