Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

I got these arrows because they weighed a little more than comparable carbon arrows. I haven't used carbon arrows long enough to know if one kind is more durable than another, but these shoot great. I think spine weight should be the standard for classifying carbon arrows,150, 250 etc. doesn't really mean anything. They are good arrows but they are not made here, while not a fanatic, I'll go USA

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

I have had these shafts for about 18 months and have used them for 3d shoots, straight ranges, stump shooting, and on big game animals.

They always shoot accurately and are very strong. Over the last 18 months I have broken 2 shafts. One was because I hit a sheet of metal. One of those targets where you have to shoot through a window or suffer the wrath of the sheet metal. The other was broken in a car door.

They shoot straight and have good penetration. I have some which are outfitted with brass inserts to get more weight forward.

Since swithing to carbon from cedar I have been more than pleased with the performance on the Carbon Express Heritage shafts. Enough that I do not want to consider changing to another shaft.

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

I have shot cedar arrows for many years and have good luck with them. Just bought a new custom longbow bow and decided to try carbons. These Heritage are made for traditional bows, unlike the carbons made for wheel bows. They are straight and weight consistent. I ordered the 150's for my 48# bow and added the 5 gpi full length inserts. I am shooting a 140 tip (may try a 160) and the total wt is about 550 grns. I am using 5" shield cut feathers and these arrows fly very well. Immediately my groups were less than 3" at 20 yds. May need to sand nock slot bigger for thicker strings.

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

I got my first set of carbon arrows. They were easy to assemble and cut. Immediately I can see results in accuracy which has improved. Likely due to the conciseness of the product's creation. These arrows were a good fit on my 3 longbows. I used the online picture which indicates arrow recommendations according to draw length and draw weight. That was great.

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

These shafts are a perfect match of weight and strength and yet are affordable. I shoot a 31" arrow and had a hard time tuning a shaft until I found these. I shoot a 160 gr. Simmons 2" head with a 100gr. insert and they have penetrated through front shoulder and offside leg bone and stuck in the ground. They are great. They take glancing blows stump shooting great too.

I love 'em

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

These fly better than anything I have ever flung out of my 45# longbow, maybe because the screw in points make them so easy to dial in. My shooting is mostly "roving' and I beat up my arrows bad. I bounce them off rocks and dig them out of trees and the worst that has happened is I once lost a nock.

Comments about Carbon Express Heritage Carbon Shafts:

Finish is smooth which makes easy pulling from 3-D targets. The wood grain pattern looks very nice. They are consistent in spine and weight and shoot well out of my 50lbs longbow. I didn't have to add any weight tubes which was nice. Definetley worth the price. Did I mention I haven't broke one yet.

I was looking for arrows with more weight than standard carbon arrows and a wood look. I have been looking for arrows that are perfect and I have found them. I will not use an other arrows. I used the brass 50 grain inserts for more weight forward.
