Gold Tip Steel Collar .166 300 12 Pk.

The Gold Tip Steel Collar .166 300 12 Pk. represents a critical component for archers who demand precision and consistency in every shot downrange. These steel collars serve as the foundation of arrow spine control and nock fit, ensuring that your shafts perform identically shot after shot. Whether you're hunting elk in September or fine-tuning your 3D course setup, proper collar installation directly impacts arrow flight and target penetration—two factors that separate ethical harvests from wounded game.

Gold Tip's .166-inch diameter steel collar is engineered to precise tolerances that match the company's premium carbon and aluminum shaft specifications. The 300-spine designation indicates moderate stiffness, ideal for compound bows in the 50–65 lb. draw weight range and traditional recurves with proper arrow length selection. Steel construction delivers durability that outlasts plastic alternatives and resists deformation from repeated nocking cycles, bow press work, and field impacts—maintaining true spine alignment where it matters most.

Serious archers building custom hunting arrows or maintaining a competition setup will appreciate the 12-pack quantity, providing enough collars for a full quiver refresh or backup inventory. Install these collars using standard arrow press equipment and nocking pliers; they slide onto shaft ends before broadhead or field point installation. Compatible with Gold Tip shafts and most standard .166-diameter arrow inserts, this product is essential for anyone committed to arrow assembly excellence and reliable field performance.
