I have tried quite a few different carbon shafts and can say without any question the Arrow dynamics trad series are the best carbon arrows being made. Super easy to tune, They shoot great out of any bow I have tried them out of, and they are super strong shafts.

Does anyone have a source for the right size brass inserts for Heritage 250 and 150 shafts? I would really appreciate that info... Kirk

Gold tip trads work great for me.

I liked MFX as well.  The Easton Axis Trads are now my go to arrow.

I'm afraid of Blems.  I had a handful and two of them had carbon splinters forming.  I've seen too many pictures of conflicts between hands and fractured carbon shafts.

AD Trads and Trad Lites..... IMHO there is no better carbon arrow for trad shooters.

Add another for GT trads - blems from big Jim.  Several of mine have 100's of shots and holding up fine.

I have not shot very many different shafts out of my trad bows, because I tried the gold tip trads. I have been very pleased with their performance and durability, and the price is pretty good. A note of clarification: the blems are not damaged arrows. They are perfectly good shafts that have blemishes in the finish, or they do not meet the very exacting tolerances of the manufacturer. I have had good luck with them in the past, and would not hesitate to buy them again. If you recieved a damaged shaft, I would contact the distributor or the manufacturer. I used to work for carbon impact (very good products by the way), and any damaged shafts got destroyed and disposed of, not put in the bargain bin.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

Griz Stick Alaskans for the heavier bow,  AD trad Lites for the lighter one.

I'm going to add to this one:
Several of mine have hundreds of misses, and holding up fine!!    :D   most economical in my opinion and easy to tune.
 I'm a real big fan of arrows that don't break now. I have had them BEND,  yes bend.  Which I guess means that. The carbon underneath the "faux wood" sheath is probably broken. The however of this whole thing.  Is I still use it as its at the point end. So not worried about it breaking upon release.
IMO the best flying arrow out of MOST of my bows are grizzly sticks. However. They are not affordable unless you work for a Fortune 500 company.    :goldtooth:

What, no Easton Trad Only fans? It's probably the same shaft as one of their other models. I liked the weight of Beman MFX, but switched for price, conventional inserts and they take Bohning Signature nocks, which I have my strings served to fit.  I shoot 3-D tournies for practice and the extra diameter is worth a few extra points per round in "line-cutters".
