Heritage 150 and Gold tip 3555

[T Folts]

I currently shoot Heritage 150's. My bow is a firefly 3pc takedown 48#@28" and I pull 28.
My current setup is 30 BOP with 220 up front.
Even though this is my setup they are still stiff but work. I am getting ready to start a indoor league and wanted to lighten up my tip weight but if I go with the 150's they will probably need to be full length. Ive heard people comment on the 90's a better choice for under 50# but I dont think I want to shoot them.
I also remember someone saying the 3555 spine better for my weight. So I was thinking about switching to Goldtip 3555. What do you think??
Sound right or am I missing something.

My experience would say the Gold Tip 3555 or maybe even the new 1535s would be a better spine than the 150s. It depends o the length of the shaft and the point weight.

Hey Terry,I'm shooting full length GT 55/75 out of my #56@30 super shrew with 250 up front. Can't imagine 35/55 not being quite tunable with light tip wght. at your wght. and draw length. You have those rabbit arrows ready? Tom

[T Folts]

Tom, yes I do.

I got a dz. blems from Big Jim a cpl. wks. ago, only problem was they were not really blems. Not a mark on any of the dz. shafts. Go figure. Can't beat the price. I like the brass inserts for strength..

i am shooting the gt 3555 out of my 50 pound bear kodiak,  my draw is just under 27 so i am pulling 45 to 48 pounds,  i have 225 grains up front , left the arrows full length and they are shooting great

I've found that the 35/55 are spined just a tad lighter than the 150's.  I've found the Goldtips are a more forgiving arrow and tune a little easier.  The Heritage 150's on the other hand are a very tough arrow and can withstand more abuse, they also weigh quite a bit more.

I think you should go with the 90's and tell me how they work for you.  :D  


I want to give them a try instead of using 150's with brass inserts and heavy points.


My bows are between 45-50#

[Carcajou]

GT 35/55's all the way with that setup.

I have shot the Heritage 90s, and they do well. However, I do not like the feel of a skinny serving, and when I built my serving up to where I had to sand the sides of the nock slightly, they would break, on a diagonal on a regular basis. Break would start at the bottom of the string area and run down close to where it meets the shaft. Bought additional nocks and swapped them out on a regular basis, but still had an occasional break. 35/55s from gold tip or beman should serve your purpose.

3555 shoot nice but I like the feel of the Heritage 90. The Heritge 90 has a different internal diameter, so standard nocks and brass inserts do not fit.

The 3555 is .500 spine.
The 90s are about 530 spine.
The 1535s are 600 spine.

Joe I am running the 90 on my longbows which range from 45-48 lbs. full length and 175 gr. fp with the lower weight bow and I can shorten them 1 1/2 inch. with same fp in the higher weight bows. The 3355 are the easiest to work with as stated above.

I shoot both. Heritage 150, 200 gr up front for Elk, GT 35/55 145 gr for deer and 3D. For a lighter arrow for 3D I leave them full length with 125 gr tip. I find the GT's to be easier to tune and more forgiving, but not as tough as the Heritage. All this from a 53 lb Toelke Whip.

Glad I bought 5 dozen.  Now to get busy and get them cut n fletched.
