My bow is tuned and shoots the older Heritage 250 (500) with 100 grn insert very well. I never had problems and really like the 10gpi as well.
I finally need to buy a dozen shafts and wanted to ask if I switched to the new Heritage shafts would I even notice a difference. What are people seeing or switching to other arrows.
-
I always though the 250s were .400... Am I wrong?
-
I have shot the old and new ones in 250 and 150.I know the grain weight changed a tad and the spine I believe is slightly different.
I don't think their will be much difference between the new and old ones though that would make much difference.
-
250 is a 400 spine. The old dark colored ones were never very tough. Those were the only ones I would break regularly stumping. The new ones are good
-
Yes 250 are 400
-
Correct I shoot the 150’s. Anyone had any issues switching to the new versions?
-
They changed twice, original were dark, then light with same markings, like 3 years ago they changed the logo. I asked if the spine changed and the answer was no (think Big Jim said no change, he doesn't sell 3rd generation that I can find, maybe guys didn't like the larger logo)
150's are 500
250's are 400
I still have around 20 2nd generations and have not gone to third yet, seems every time I find a carbon shaft it changes or is discontinued

Yes this is why I bought 10 DZ of FMJ
-
Yeah my last batch lasted for almost 10 years and I knew they changed and not sure if Big Jim still gets the older verisions anymore. I remember he posted before when he got a batch and the 150 are hard to find.
My next closing I’ll try the new verision to see how they turn.
-
all mine are from around 1998,, I hope they didn't change too much... if they did are they weaker or stiffer?

Generation 2 was slightly weaker, think version 3 is the same, as I remember anyway
-
I have both old and new ones and I can't tell any difference
-
I hate to be a me tooer, but I echo what Dennis just typed...The new fly the same as the old for me.
-
The 350, 250 and 150 spine did not change much but on the 90's and 75's the spine changed a good bit enough to have to change your set up I had to cut maybe 1/4" to 1/2" from each arrow to make up for the lower spine in the newer shafts
-
not to hijack the OP's thread but good info fellas thank you,,, I do have 90's also and that's where I was going with that and did everyone just trim some off but Dennis answered it.. ordering 6 150's tonight I heard I can get the logo off with that green scrub pad and acetone,, I'm not a fan of it so we'll see.
-
Yeah 1st thing I’m doing is to remove the logos. Way too big and I think doesn’t look good.
-
I am glad to hear the newer ones are the same as the older ones. I just ordered some new 150's and this was in the back of my mind. You guys have set my mind at ease. :clapper:
-
Tell us how they shoot compared to the old ones.
-
I noticed no difference in arrow flight between the old stock 150s and the new ones.
-
Glad to hear! I really didn’t want to change arrows. I really liked their weight and price
