Located in: Arrows/Shafting, Fletched Arrows, Carbon Arrows
We field tested Carbon Express "Heritage" wood grain arrows in New Mexico and they were indestructible! Rugged, accurate, and they flew well out of every bow we tried. We now offer them pre-fletched so all you have to do is cut them to length and install your points and inserts. (We can even do that for you.) We use three 5" left wing premium Trueflight shield feathers in a helical twist for optimum stabilization. The cock feathers are traditional barred and the hens are either red, yellow, orange, or white. If you have a preference please send a note with your order of your first and second color choice. Colors vary. Express carbon arrows come complete with nocks installed and inserts loose. Available in dozens only. These arrows are suggested for all bowhunting, 3-D shooting, stump shooting, target archery, or regular everyday recreational archery. Please Note: The NEW Heritage 90s are a different diameter size than the 150s, 250s and 350s. Brass inserts that 3River's offers currently Do Not fit, and neither do any of the sizes of 3Rivers weight tubes. Carbon Express Heritage Shafting Specifics

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I use the 150's cut to 31 inches with my 45# Venom. Use the 50 gr brass inserts and the 125 gr field points for an arrow weight ~510 gr.

They fly nice and straight. Easy to cut to length with miter saw. I'll be getting these again when I need some more arrows.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

Great traditional looking arrow with all the bennefits of modern carbon. I bought a dozen of thees arrows a few years ago for my 55 pound Martin Hunter Recurve and they were spined perfectly as per the selection chart for my 28 and a half inch shafts. They are still shooting as well or better as I can.
Because I use 135 to 145 grain broadheads and these shafts are heavier per inch than other non traditional carbons, they sail through the air with a beautifully predictable and steady arch that provides good dependable penetration. And thanks to the five and a half inch sheild cut feathers with a very consitant helical twist, they fly true through moderate wind with little deflection.
Only complaint was that the nocks were loosened after only a few shots and had to be cemented in place with a little crazy glue to prevent losing them completely.

(So.....why the five stars?)

Well, recently I bought a second dozen Heritage arrows for my 50 pound Bear Montana Long Bow gain using Carbon Express' selection chart. What I recieved were perfectly spined and just as beautifully made arrows with all the same benefits as before. And to top it all off, I do beleive they changed their nocks because these aren't going any where. I tried rather doggedly to pull a few out and they held fast to the rear of the shaft. At the range none fell out as the old ones used to do. No indeed. They didn't loosen up one bit even after more than a dozen shots.
The only complaint now is that they shoot to consistantly. Yep, try to shoot three at the same target at under thirty yards and one is bound to get broke. So I bought some less expensive plain black shaft carbon arrows a couple days ago and am looking forward to comparing them to the heritage shafts. At least I wont feel as bad when I break these. I think I'll save the Heritage arrows for deer hunting and chunk the black carbons at rabbits. That only seems fair.
Oh and by the way, Three Rivers Archery has thus far been an outstanding establishment to do business with. Fast courteous and reliable. I've placed several orders with them and have been very positively impressed.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

i really love the look of the arrow and it's flight. the entire dozen are consistent in flight as best i can see. the only glitch is that the nocks provided with the set came out of the arrow when being shot-they are too loose in the shaft. i had to change to another style and they are a tight fit and perform well.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I purchased a dozen Heritage arrows cut to 30 in. They arrived exactly as ordered. The fletching was especially well done. Most of my practice is stump shooting and I am hard on arrows. This is my first experience with carbon arrows. I shot one into a stump, it bounced back into a tree breaking the nock and cracking the shaft at the nock end. I knew right away the nock end needed reinforcing. I cut a ¾ in. piece of an old 2216 aluminum arrow and epoxied it over the end between the feathers and the nock. I did the same thing at the point end. I have shot them into everything since and have had no problems. The reinforcements did not change the arrow flight. I think these arrows will outlast cedar and aluminum 10 to 1 or maybe more.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

These arrows are tuffer than nails! I simply cannot see the point in going back to cedar shafts, after using these arrows. I have abused the heck out of them, and out of two dozen arrows, have only broken two... and those arrows were direct hits on steel. My shooting buddy swears that I have the best arrow luck he's ever seen, after watching his arrows get destroyed, while mine come out unscathed. He says he's going to switch to shooting the Heritage.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I had trouble getting good arrow flight out of my 60 pound longbow. Arrows are 28.5 inches long with 125 grain field points. The 250 recommended by the chart were too heavy spined. I went to the 150 and bareshaft tuning showed they were the correct spine for this bow. Nock point had to move down about 1 inch from where the 250 size nockpoint was. Now arrow flight and grouping is very much improved. I wish the 150 arrows had a little more mass, but they are well made and durable arrows.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

Every arrow flies exactly the same- I never get close to that with wood! I know the hardcore traditional guys think it's fake, but they 'look' like wood ;) ultimately accuracy makes hunting more ethical, and that outweighs traditional.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

These arrows are incredible. I am truly impressed with the accuracy and durability of these arrows. Wow, if you purchase these arrows, I promise you will be satisfied. I have shot these bad boys into all kinds of nasty stuff and havent busted one yet. Ive hit rocks, trees, gravel, and even deflected sideways into stuff but they just wont break. I watched my arrow skip off the top of my target and the shaft hit the top of the target hard and stayed in one piece. Ten minutes later my buddy did the exact same thing with an Easton full metal jacket and it snapped like a twig.

Arrows were fletched well and flew great. Heritage 150s are tuff shafts and with 150gr WW heads give me good arrow flight out of my 55 to 60lb traditional bows.

Strong and Durable- I own a Tomahawk Desert Fox 50lbs. The 500 grain arrows are wicked fast coming off of that bow. I shoot for at least an hour a day- and I have not had any shaft/fletching issues at all. Thank you customer service for your recommendation.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I don't know what vodoo or mojo comes with carbon arrows but the fact is,if matched correctly to the equipment, they do shoot tighter, more consistent groups than others. Perhaps it is that they are more forgiving or weight consistent than woodies or even more professionally crafted, whatever, they do deliver as advertised and shoot tighter groups.

Service & Delivery comments:

I have purchased a dozen of these arrows from you on two occassions. Overall I am very pleased with the product. However; the last time I recieved a dozen, when I opened the box, three of the shafts had shifted until the fletchings were lodged in the foam divider resulting in the fletchings being damaged. I appreciate you trying to do better.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I used to love the carbon express terminator hunter (6075) which to this day I think were the best and most durable shafts – unfortunately they stopped making them.
The heritage (I use the 350) is a great shaft but a little less durable then the terminator hunter was- I use the white weight tubes and with a 125 grain broad head I get a 750 grain arrow which makes it a real killer in the field. The weakest point of a carbon arrow is the tip- if you hit a hard object (stone, bones) the insert gets pushed back into the arrow. This not just destroys the arrow but also prevents good penetration.-
To increase the strength I put a collar on the arrow. I cut 2216 aluminum arrows in ¾ inch piece and glue them on both ends of the arrow – this increases the durability dramatically and crushes through every bone.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

Hard hitten, deep pentrating performance. I've used these 350s and have wacked through more then a few fine deer with these Heritage classics... Coupled with a 125gr. broadhead you'll be harded pressed for higher performance. The 5 inch bar shield fletching in white turkey bar are bad to the bone. Easily tracked with immeadiate feed back on pass through shots. Ideal for hunting...

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I just purchased my first carbon arrows and couldn't be happier with my choice of Carbon Express. I'm getting excellent flight from my 68# Bighorn recurve. The arrows look more natural, than the aluminum arrows I've used for years and I suspect they'll be a great deal more durable once I get them into the field. Nicely fletched. Good job all around.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

3R tech suggested these because my Gold tip Ultralight would break after 2-3 shots into a stump. After a dozen good hits this arrows shaft shows no wear. However, I lost 8 nocks. They would pop out and go flying when the arrow hit the tree. One time my judo point stuck in the tree and the shaft bounced back...point still in the tree.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I have been using these pre fletched shafts for a year now. For daily practice and hunting in less than optimal, late season, conditions these are the arrows to buy. I shoot a 55# Bear recurve with Carbon Express 150s and 150 grain points and they fly great! I may try the 250s next time since I like using heavier points but have no complaints with the 150s. I also like the 5/16" size. You can easily find whatever arrow accessory or product you need without worrying about it fitting the really skinny shafts the other carbon arrows have. Plus, going from these shafts to cedar shafts and back feels like a smooth and natural transition. After a year of all the tortures I, as a beginner, have put a dozen of these through I have managed to break a few but the others are still going strong. When I buy my next dozen arrows I will buy the pre fletched Carbon Express shafts again.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

I've been shooting these arrows for about a month now, and I don't think I'll ever shoot anything else. The wood grain BuffTuff finish gives them a more traditional feel, and also aids in penitration and durability. I'm shooting a 31" 150 on my 50# Bear Supermag. They fly better than anything else I've ever shot.

Comments about Pre-Fletched Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Arrows:

These are the strongest carbon shafts I have ever shot. They are great for stump shooting and hunting. I really like the natural wood design, and found you can remove the label so it looks like a real wood arrow.The 5/16" diameter makes them easy to get points for and for adding weight. I have a 56# longbow and use 150's. I have seen some people with the same poundage bow use 250's though.
