I still don't get the various designations like, Heritage 90s, 250s, 500s, etc. Seems to be a lot like rifle calibers--little rhyme or reason behind it. So how does a 90 differ from a 400 or 500. BTW, I realize the 500, etc. refers to deflection (I think) but what about CX Heritage 90s....what do they correspond to? That's probably not a reference to deflection, right? Guess my brain is getting to old for all the new fangled stuff. :confused:
Originally posted by Overspined: okay, kudos Rob, but all "that monkeying" around is what drove me NUTS and led me back to wood and aluminum. It really takes potentially a lot of different shafts, a cutter, different point weights/inserts/etc to finally get one to fly good, when wood takes a couple minutes to find one that flies GREAT. Just my opinion...I just wish I had the time to find that magic carbon arrow that is heavy enough and will fly as good as my woodies..
