Heritage shooters???
« on: September 07, 2012, 10:44:00 PM »
How do you guys feel about the durability of these shafts?  I shoot mfx but get a little tired of the whole hitt insert thing. I tried them a couple years ago but the nooks were really loose and I gave up on trying them??  Thanks. Bill

I shoot the 250's and I really like them.  I shoot a 100 grain brass insert with 20 grain piece of alluminum shaft over the end and at my local 3d shoot I missed the target and hit the small rock bluff behind it and all it done was bend the tip and the insert.  The shaft was fine.  That alluminum is a life saver.

EXELLENT!!!!  I shoot both 150's  And 250's in my heavier bows and these things hold up to some serious abuse...   check this out...


This is a Heritage 150 with 200 up front. weighing 550 grains shooting 198 FPS

I've shot stumps, branches, and rocks with no damage at all. But this is the first time i ever shot a drill.   :rolleyes:   btw.... the drill is definately shot....

Ive shot CE for years and never had any problems.

This year I changed. Tried Beeman MFX and Traditional Only, but, got frustrated with light weight and HIT internal components.

Switched to Arrow Dynamics and solved those problems. Also, I only want to buy items made in USA.

Well done Kirk,that's a trophy of a lifetime.LOL.
I think the Eritage are the best overall shafts on the market,consistent in spine,good weight and very tough.I use 3 spine:150-250-350.All excellent but the heavier are hard hitting and carry 250-300 grains points with authority.

I love my Heritage shafts, I use 150, 250, and 350's depending on which bows or use. I have weights from 450gr. to 730gr. point weight from 100gr. to 350gr. My main setup is a Heritage 250 at 565gr. with 200gr. up front and wouldn't hesitate to use it for anything short of the heaviest of game. Works well for my bows 55#-61#. That being said, this year will be the first year I will try hunting with woodie's at 560gr. just to experience the feeling of hunting with wood arrows. I like the fact that they weigh the same as my go to carbons which I can use for practice and save the beautiful wood arrows for the hunting.

I started with the Heritage 150's and have moved up to 250's for extra weight.  The ground around my place is all hard pan and rocks and I have never had a shaft crack , splitter or chip.  I have even "Robinhooded" a few and they do not split very far.

I had a dozen 150s, that I bought at least 3years ago, I switched to shooting woods and I sold all but 4 of them which I shoot at 3Ds etc on occasion! I have shot those arrows into almost every kind of obstacle there is, rocks, trees, had them glance off trees sideways I have never had one break IMO one of the toughest shafts out there!

Are the Arrow dynamics a tapered shaft?

I've been shooting the 250's for a few years now, and I've damaged almost a dozen with Robin Hoods! Other than that, they're great!

I've sshot 250's and 350's and find them almost indestructible, and the finish lasts a long time. It fades after being buried for over a year, but still looks good !   ;)

I've shot the same 3 dozen since 2006.  Only ones I've lost were due to Robin Hood's and shaft strikes from another arrow.  I did cull one last weekend because it had a discolored area that showed up down near the insert.  There was no evidence that the shaft was compromised, but felt better playing it safe.
Mine have been easy to tune.  Really no complaints.
With that said, I recently got a half dozen each of the AD Trads and Trad Lites.  As of right now, they will be the only shafts I buy in the future unless I need something spined heavier than the Trads.  I can shoot the same setup out of all my 50#-55# bows (5 different ones) with the Lites and the Trads are shooting beautifully out of my 60# recurve.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.
