Gold Tip Pierce LRT – Kauffman Custom Build

.166 Ultra-Micro Diameter. High-Modulus Carbon. Ballistic Collar System. Precision Match-Grade ±.001".

Engineered for extreme long-range accuracy, maximum wind deflection, and deep kinetic penetration, the Gold Tip Pierce LRT (Long Range Tactical) is Gold Tip’s premier .166" ultra-micro diameter hunting shaft. Built with 100% pure high-modulus Smart Carbon fiber, the LRT combines incredible speed and dynamic spine recovery with rugged durability under harsh field conditions.

Inspected to Gold Tip’s highest match-grade standards (±.001" straightness and ±0.5 grains weight sorting per dozen), each Pierce LRT is equipped with Gold Tip’s multi-piece Pierce Insert System and Ballistic Collar Armor to protect the front end during hard impacts into bone. Finished with GTO nocks and bushings, this ultra-micro platform is designed for backcountry big-game archers stretching their range on long Western hunts.

At Kauffman Custom Archery, we turn raw Pierce LRT carbon into a pinpoint, zero-tolerance hunting tool through full studio bench prep—indexing dynamic spine, diamond-squaring carbon faces, and hand-fletching each shaft for broadhead stability downrange.

The Kauffman Custom Studio Difference

Ultra-micro .166 carbon with multi-piece collar systems requires exact shop assembly to eliminate broadhead runout and ensure true flight:

• 360° Roller Spine Indexing: We spin-test every shaft on dial-indicator rollers to identify dynamic stiffness and index nocks for identical flex off the bowstring.

• Dual-End Diamond Truing: Carbon faces are precision-squared using high-speed diamond wheels, establishing a dead-flat 90-degree seating plane for LRT inserts, collars, and GTO bushings.

• Chemical Degreasing & Custom Hand Fletching: Shafts undergo complete solvent cleaning before receiving heavy-duty custom wraps and hand-fletched high-profile vanes (Q2i Rapt-X or AAE Max Stealth) for maximum broadhead steering authority.

• Grain-Matched Dozen Sets: Your complete set is hand-sorted and weight-matched across the batch to keep your point-of-impact identical shot after shot.
