CARBON EXPRESS HERITAGE SHAFTS

[longbow1]

I shoot 150's w/ 250 grains up front cut to 28" with my 59# Centaur. 250's way to stiff.

[cahaba]

150s I shoot them out of a 52# longbow with 275 gr. up front. Bareshafted a little weak before feathers were installed.

I'd go with the 150's for that set up! I love these shafts.  I've taken five deer with the same arrow with just clean up and re fletch. I use a Magnus Stinger on the buisness end.

I am going to go with the 150's ... I saee the 250's will be too stiff...

BTW - My riser is cut about .07 past center...so it's close

[Jack Whitmire Jr]

I think the 150's will be way too stiff unless you put 300 grains up front. BUT you can leave them waaaay long and adjust from there.

You should be just right with the 150's. I had a 45# Martin Savannah that I shot the same setup on, 100 grn inserts and 150 grn heads. You'll have to leave them long.

[TradPaul]

Whe you say cut past center, are you including your rest? when most bowyers cut past center it's only about a 16th..doesnt really matter though. Also you are going to find many varied results as to what they use that works or not, but then they are using as many different bows with different speed and enganeered efficiency, so this could account for the varied responses. Good luck to ya.

I shoot 30" 250's with drawing 56lb on my recurve w/ff string.  Standard insert and 165 grain field point. You really should try to get a couple single shafts, maybe 3 so you get one of each size.  It's worth spending a few extra bucks to make sure you have the right setup. I found that mine are fairly sensitive to length adjustments - half an inch can make a noticeable difference.

Tom I got some 250's if ya want to try them.  Call me I am going Sunday afternoon.

I have a dozen 250's to trade for a dozen 150's if anyone is interested?  Great arrows.

[ArrowAtomik]

My specs are identical to yours except I generally shoot 125 gr heads and have closer to 29" draw.  However, this is bow dependent and doesn't necessarily mean what works for me works for you.

I am slightly weak with 150's if I make a nice full healthy draw.  If I went to 250's I would probably need pretty long arrows though, that I'd prefer not to have.  

I have found that a small aluminum footing, extending a bit beyond the insert on the carbon arrow will stiffen it a bit.  Increasing or decreasing footing size can tune the arrows some.  Footing is a great idea with CX Heritages and I prefer this instead of going with 33+" arrows.  Also a fletched shaft will be very slightly stiffer than an unfletched shaft that you tune with, so very slightly weak can actually be preferred.
