switching to carbon?
« on: September 14, 2012, 03:57:00 AM »
so i switched from carbon to aluminum due to price and weight but i started tinkering with the aluminum for more weight anyway so im back to looking at carbon for 2 reasons durability and  its thinner so i should get better penetration i'll still be shooting aluminum this season most likely unless if i can get started with 6 carbons pretty darn soon, i picked up a test kit and found that full length 300 spine arrows fly just a little stiff... cool i can add more weight with a brass insert and be good to go

does anyone have experiance with the traditional only arrows are they as durable as the heritage arrows?

I have owned and shot both Eric and both are good quality.Right now I am shooting the CX  Heritage and to me they seem to be a bit more durable.I am shooting the 250 spine out of my 52# Mohawk with 250 V P A penetrators and they fly great.

I'm shooting the CX Heritage 150's out of my 64" Robertson Purist Longbow with 250 grain woodsman elites...they fly PERFECT,if I do my part of course. I think the CX Heritage arrows are the best carbons that I've shot for trad gear.IMO

The Traditional only arrows are nice, but i prefer the CX Heritage for durability.... i shoot both 150's and 250's with brass inserts. kirk

I have both and they are both very durable as glenbo says. I however like the CE's as they have more gpi than the TO's in similar spines.

I have shot both of those shafts mentioned. Of the two I have to say the Carbon Express is a tougher shaft. If and when you get a chance to you ought to look at the arrow dynamics shafts.
