When I started trad shooting in 2006, I bought 2 dozen Carbon Express Heritage 150's and then, a couple years later, bought a dozen CE Heritage 250's.
I've decided to look at some other carbons and I am just overwhelmed at what's out there.
Gold Tip, Arrow Dynamics, Easton, Beman all have models that interest me.
Just wondering, from you guys that do shoot carbon, what you're preferences are and why.
Thanks Ken

GT Traditional or their Expeditions (black) 5575’s, mainly because there priced right and there very tough! Makes for a dependable shaft that will last me a couple of years or more if I don’t loose them. I find that with my shooting I don’t need close tolerance any better than the GT’s.

My sentiments exactly...

I shoot mostly GT Trad blem arrows now. Great arrows at an even better price. Almost indestructible if you'll foot them. I had a bunch of CE Heritage arrows until I stepped down in poundage and couldn't use them anymore. The Heritage's are one of the best Trad arrows out there IMHO. Your good to go!

I shoot the traditional only carbons right now,but would like to try the ce heritage not because the easton's aren't good,but would like to get a heavier gpi to try a heavier broadhead.

I switched to Gold Tips because I shoot both .500 and .600 spines. I was using CE shafts, and couldn't use the nock insert adapters nor the brass inserts for up front of the "girlie" CE 90s.
The GT Trads and Expeditions take the same size inserts in the spines I use. Keeps it simple while giving me more flexibility.
