I have some CX Heritage 150 arrows that are cut too short and I need info on adding lenght to them similar to footing, is there a way I can do this to salvage my arrows ?

Saw some adapters once in a archery shop, that had male threads on one end and female threads on the other. Cant remember the overall length but it seems like it was around an inch.

Yep I've had that trouble, no matter how many times I cut them, they were still too short.
Never heard of splicing carbons. Woods and aluminums yep but not carbons.
Might be better to sell or trade em and start over.

add more weight to the front to weaken the spine.

Terry,
I have glued in a wood dowel and then tapered just like a woodie.Run it in the shaft about 4-5" and let it stick out how ever far you need, then taper for glue on heads. I started doing this about ten years ago and really like it. It makes a tuff arrow. Use the hardest wood you have.
I have also used a steel adapter and glued on a woodie weight to add length and foc.
Just a couple option that I have used to save my abused arrows for another day.

You can cut the correct size aluminum 2216 I believe and make a footing so to speak. Cut a peice 2"s long and glue in an insert than glue the piece onto the carbon, this will add roughly one inch to your arrow! Shawn

yep, I'm a 32"+ draw. Been doing that to Heritage 250's for the last few years. Pretty good solution..... if you do hit a rock or something of the like, it may buckle at the insert/carbon shaft interface. SO DON'T MISS!

I was also thinking I could use a broken arrow and use a aluminum as a footing and a splice all in one.
