Field notes

This is the 500 spine of the Gold Tip Hunter, a 6.5mm class (.246 in ID) shaft with a.246 in inside diameter. In this spine it weighs 7.3 grains per inch and measures.291 in OD across. A 500 spine sits at the light band, for lower draw weights and youth-to-adult setups.

Because the bore is.246 in, it takes the Gold Tip GT nock (12.2 gr) and the Gold Tip Accu-Lite insert (12.1 gr), and it threads to the 8-32. Those do not change with spine; only the GPI and outside diameter move across the table.

Spine is a starting point, not a guarantee: a 500 from one brand can differ from another. Read your exact draw weight and arrow length on the maker chart or bare-shaft test before cutting a dozen, and keep the finished arrow above the 5-grains-per-pound floor.
