All of my bows are around 48# @ 28, and the ce 90 shafts shoot like darts out of my bows. I have spoken to the reps at ce, and I think they would fix your problem Killdeer.

I was a techie freak as a compound guy and the only arrows I found that matched their advertised specs were Easton and CE.

They are as durable as anything I have tried, and thus far the only one I have broken that wasn't a rock I thought was a stump was a deer that broke it as she hit the death sprint...

Good stuff.

I shot one into a saw blade at 20 yards (someone forgot to tell me I was supposed to put it in the blade's hole) and it bounced half way back to me completely unharmed. The second shot with the same arrow still hit the blade but fell straight down only pushing the point back 3/4". Now that is strong considering that I shot it out of a bow shooting 85#'s.

I'm a CarbonExpress fan and have used the Terminators forever, but for some reason have had no luck with the Heritage series.

I can give you a thumbs up on Ye Olde Archery Shoppe.  :thumbsup:

I have been shooting them for years (5yrs?). I bought two dozen on sale from 3Rivers. Basically I still have the same 6 in my quiver from the beginning. Well...I broke two. One I missed a rabbit and hit some old farm equipment that was buried in some weeds. The other arrow a doe managed to break right behind the point (last thing she ever did). They are tough, fly like darts, and hit like a ton of bricks.

Using 125gr points, 100gr inserts, CX-HE 250's, 5" feathers.


Get them tuned...and you will not regret getting them.

I pretty much use CE 250's for all my set ups between 50 and 64 lbs and they all seem to shoot really well.  When I go to the heavy stuff, I go to the 350's and have had good luck with them too. They seem to pretty much fly nicely out of any bow I have.  I've tried some other arrows and just can't get anything to work nearly as well as CE.

I love the toughness and the finish. Very nice looking shaft. I am a bit wary of them now, though. It is hard to carry around a spine tester at a shoot, but I would want to test the next batch I bought before I bought it.

We had the same problem with some 150's we bought. A lot of emailing, measuring and spine testing revealed that a bad batch had gone out from the factory. Ours spine tested in between 150's and 250's. Every subsequent dozen we have bought have been spot on. They are the only shaft I use(currently 250's).

I'm using the CX 90 Heritage with my 50# @ 28" (I only draw 25") Anneewakee Addiction, now that I've gone back to a modern lam bow, and like them real well. I have 175 gr tips on the full length shaft. Tough buggers! FWIW

Do you guys have any issues w/ hotmelt keeping your inserts in.  
I posted earlier about my painting problems and am convinced I just have a wierd batch as tried as I may I couldn't get the paint to not "fisheye"...gave up and vinyl wrapped.....
Now I lost a point and insert in a targe the other night and am worried I need to pull all brass inserts and goat tuff them in now that I know my lengths/spine is correct....
Anyone?????

BTW....tuned in some 150's at 30" w/ 225 up front and they shoot bullets out of my 53# longbow, 56# recurve, and my still flew awesome from my 40# Gamemaster....  Great shaft!

I've been using hot melt Fletch-tite (the old hard stick kind we used on fish pole ferules) with good results so far.

I use standard hot melt glue that you use with the little guns for when Im bare shafting. The brass inserts stay in pretty good but I have lost the odd one. Onece my arrow length is set I remove the inserts and glue in with Devcon 2 tonn epoxy

Killdeer, I had the same problem, called the factory, they said send them back, and shipped out new dozen right away! Good customer service!
