They have decent GPI for carbons.  My experience is that they take a pretty good beating and hold up well.  Not to say they can't be destroyed, but it will take some work on your part.

They are the only carbons I use.

I bought the wrong size gt's and traded them on this site for some cx heritage. I like them alot. They also stand up well when hitting stone.(don't ask how I know this). I think you will enjoy them.

Probably one of the toughest out there, BUT, not unbreakable.I would say they are even as tough or tougher than the Kevlar. Seems to me though, anytime I hit something hard enough to break my GT Traditionals a CX heritage would break also. For me the GT gives me the GPP I want and higher FOC because their GPI is a little lower and they are a little cheaper. If the CX fit my criteria I would definitely use them.

I've broken probably a dozen of them by hitting rocks, hitting them with other arrows etc.... I don't think they are any more durable than the Gold Tip shafts. Also they are pretty heavy compared to GT. As mentioned above if you cant get FOC up without having a really heavy arrow overall.

They do look great though and shoot well if you tune them properly

For stumping in a rocky area I would suggest either a brass insert or an aluminum footing. Both would be even better.

My favorite shaft.

I shoot mine with a hundred grain brass insert, and lets just say you have to get creative to break'em!!!  Joe

I have had several GT and none of them have held up as good as my CX Heitages.. I stump and shoot 3D with them. I like that they are 10 GPI.

X2, they are some tough buggers when a brass insert is added. I have accidently shot a 350 with 100 grain insert and 250 grain point out of a 73# longbow into a softball size piece of quartz while stumping. Saw sparks and just knew the arrow was toast but it is still in my quiver today.

Great arrows! I just wish they had one between the 150 & 250. 10gpi at 400-410 spine would be perfect.

I like 'em. A good durable shaft, made even better with an aluminum footing for stumping.

Doubt you will find many tougher than the CX. They get their weight from an extra wrap of carbon and that also makes them tougher. Lots of good arrows out there and this is one of them.

Another satisfied Heritage shooter here. I have tryed other carbon but I like the CX the most.Of course if you want to make them bomb proof you need to foot them!

I foot mine for stumping, I have had several mushroom with the point and insert moving back into the shaft on hard objects with both aluminium and brass inserts.
