My head is spinning from Carbon overdose!

[threeunder]

When I started trad shooting in 2006, I bought 2 dozen Carbon Express Heritage 150's and then, a couple years later, bought a dozen CE Heritage 250's.

I've decided to look at some other carbons and I am just overwhelmed at what's out there.

Gold Tip, Arrow Dynamics, Easton, Beman all have models that interest me.

Just wondering, from you guys that do shoot carbon, what you're preferences are and why.

Thanks
Ken

GT Traditional or their Expeditions (black) 5575’s, mainly because there priced right and there very tough!  Makes for a dependable shaft that will last me a couple of years or more if I don’t loose them.  I find that with my shooting I don’t need close tolerance any better than the GT’s.

Easton Axis 400. Their slim profile helps with penetration and are very tough. I also like the camo finish.

Heritages are hard to beat

I have shot most of the carbons with the exception of the AD's. CE heritage is my favorite. GPI is where I want to be and they are tough.

Heritages  are about the toughest ive shot.

[rolltidehunter]

i have shot Easton Axis, Gold tips, CEHeritage.

i like the CEHeritage b/c of the GPI as well.

I shoot mostly GT Trad blem arrows now.  Great arrows at an even better price. Almost indestructible if you'll foot them.  I had a bunch of CE Heritage arrows until I stepped down in poundage and couldn't use them anymore. The Heritage's are one of the best Trad arrows out there IMHO.    Your good to go!

gt expedition are a fine arrow at a good cost

[Alexander Traditional]

I shoot the traditional only carbons right now,but would like to try the ce heritage not because the easton's aren't good,but would like to get a heavier gpi to try a heavier broadhead.

Easton Axis 500's N-Fused Carbon... Toughest I've personally shot.

GoldTip trad Blems from Big Jim because of price and they are good enough shafts.   Widow

I switched to Gold Tips because I shoot both .500 and .600 spines. I was using CE shafts, and couldn't use the nock insert adapters nor the brass inserts for up front of the "girlie" CE 90s.

The GT Trads and Expeditions take the same size inserts in the spines I use. Keeps it simple while giving me more flexibility.

Thanks everyone....I guess curiosity killed the cat and the grass is always greener....will probably stick with the Heritage for now...

I lost two of them last weekend after my first trad Robin Hood....after shooting them for almost 6 years now sort of like losing part of your family....LOL....

Thanks all
Ken

GT blems from Big Jim.  Not so painful when one skips off into the woods.  Can't find anything wrong with them.

I bought 4 dozen AO 2018's about 6 years ago.. I still have 3 1/2 dozen..

Even being orange I manage to loose a few.

cheap and very good shaft. easy to find components for and they shoot better than i do. i don't need to waste money on a shaft that has tighter straightness tolerances than .006"

i shoot water buff with them, nuff said!
