Help with Carbon Express
« on: April 20, 2009, 10:04:00 PM »
I have a 29" draw and shoot 54lb Widow, and a 56lb Widow. I shoot GT [email protected]" with 50gr inserts and 175gr points. And also 100gr inserts with 125grpoints.

I shoot Beman 500 29.5" with 100gr inserts and 175gr points.

Now to my question, I would like to buy some Carbon Express Heritage. Can I buy the 150s at 29.5" and with a 100gr insert or......?  

Thanks for any help.

I shoot both 250's and 150's...

  The 250's with 100 gr inserts shoot better in my bows 60 lbs and over...I shoot the 150's with 100 gr inserts with my bows 45 to 60...It is a system that works for me...My arrows are 30 inches...

 I could get by with just the 150's I think in everything...The 250's don't shoot at all 55 an down though...

 I think you would be about perfect with 150's...
Good Arrow Flight   >>>-------->

Yep 150s, I thought I would need the 250s for my 57 @ 29 bows but they were too stiff, cut to 30"s with 100 grain insert and 125 heads. So I sold all the 150s I had and now I have a doz 250's that are too stiff, gonna try and get some 150's(again) cut to 29.5 50 grain insert and 125 heads- that outta do it! I draw 29 and sometimes a little more out of two shawnees both about 57 at 29. My finished 250s weighed in at 610 grains and I'm sure if I loaded the front even more I could make em work but I'd rather not go any higher in total arrow weight, I like shooting a 29.5-30 inch arrow, maintain good foc, good grains per pound of draw and a reasonable speed. Good luck!

Thanks for replys, and it looks like the 150s Heritage will be the one. Thanks again.

I sell a lot of gold tip blems all over the world and they are great, but when it comes to non blem arrows, the carbon express is hard to beat. They are the toughest shaft on the market and I don't have any problems keeping them in stock.
