What inserts are people who shoot heritage shafts using.I Need 75gr inserts for what I want to set up with my 150s, I have 100gr brass inserts but don't fit.
Cheers Al
I use the screw in things from Big Jim, they screw into the back of the insert with a long tool that he sells as well
Are you talking about the GT insert weights? I have those, but did not think they would screw into Carbon Express inserts.
I used the 100 grn brass insert with up to 160 grain heads in a CE Heritage 150, 29"long. For 49 - 53# bows. Mostly shooting wood these days.

Yes - can't remember if they are CE inserts or Gold tip but that is what I use, big Jim would know. I have piles of stuff so I can usually make things work.
The CE shafts I have are not the new ones with the different logo on then, I have not purchased those and after that switch I went back to wood - that doesn't seem to change
I think any insert with the threaded hole in the back works, must be standard China size - ha!
I have no trouble getting the weights into CE 250's..... and the standard CE insert accepts them with no problem.
Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

I had some that didn't fit well myself on the CE Heritage that i got from 3 Rivers.... They were a little too tight. So i screwed in a field tip into the insert and put them in my drill press and used a file to size them down.... worked great! you could do the same with a hand held drill motor or a cordless drill too.
My weights slide right in
Is it the new shafts causing the issue?
I am using 100gr brass inserts in my CE 150's and have no problem with the fit. I just ordered some 50gr brass inserts from 3R and noticed they have one listed for GT arrows and another for CE arrows. If I remember correctly the inside diameter of the CE shafts are slightly smaller than the GT shafts so you may have the brass inserts for the GT arrows. If I remember correctly the id of the GT shafts are .246" and the id of the CE Heritage shafts are .244".
Yeah thanks guys for all the info, I'm in Australia so makes it hard to get some stuff from local store's
8upbowhunter, I think you nailed it.
