Heritage 150 shafts-toughest on the planet?
« on: March 21, 2011, 11:33:00 AM »
This is my third year shooting these shafts and I must say these things are incredible!! Both for flight and durability.  
 A few shafts I still have from 3 years ago, been through deer and many target sessions. The only ones I have broke were done by deer or if I hit an extremely hard object, like a rock.
 Anyway, thought to pass this on in case anyone was thinking about trying them. Been shooting them with 200 grains up front out of bows in the low-mid 50's. Haven't found anything that flies better yet.   :cool:
Just one more step please!

Same for me, I shoot them with 190 up front out of my 52-54# bows and they fly great. Put them thru deer and turkeys. They even survive the Muzzy stump shoot. I have some froma dozen I bought 5 years ago. Shawn

The stump shooting durability is pretty amazing!! Been trying to kill them on purpose just to see what they'll take.
 I have some spiral flu's that will most likely get stripped down and used for hunting another season     ;)  
 Glad to hear another positive response! Anytime I find an item that goes beyond whats expected, I love to share the info. Their not too hard on the wallet either.    :cool:

Love both the 150s and 250s.  With 250 gr. up front, they fly like darts.  I've only managed to destroy one.....thanks to a rock!  Lost a few nocks due to popping out, but the shafts are super durable.

How do these compare the the Arrow Dynamics Hammerhead shafts for durability and consistency?

I have had the same experience, though I haven't been into the trad bows near as long.  I find they work well with ALL my bows.  Very good range for my purpose.

You got that right.  I routinely break a few AD Tradlights when stumping, but the 150's are near bullet-proof!  Both seem to fly well out of most of my bows.

yip your right for the money you wont find a more durable arrow. I really like them, add a footing to the front and they go even harder.

if you want to make them completely bulletproof, put a 1" piece of alluminum shafting over the point end. i've shot rocks, stumps, cinder blocks, you name it, and the arrows are no worse than the day i got them. the only two i've managed to break, one got bitten in half by a coyote, and the other broke off ehwn the buck i shot this year crashed into the ground.
great shafts and i'll get more when that time comes.

Just bounced one off the basement wall from 30 ft. This from a 54# RER that is smokin fast. The only damage besides the wall was the nock popped out. I do have them footed! Shawn

The only way I can break them is to Robin hood them. I did 3 of them last week at 25 yards. Guess I need to start shooting a 3 spot target.

I center punched a rock at a 3D range once and the guys I was with said, that one is done! Nope, popped the knock out and the field tip was curled over but shaft was fine. Great shafts! They are all I shoot.
