I could be wrong, but I think they are a buff tuff wrapped version of the kids arrows CX sells at Walmart and the like.  I think they are called thunderstorms.  I could be wrong, but I doubt it.  BTW it would take and AWFULLY light draw bow for someone with a 29"+ draw to get them to spine well for them if they made them longer anyway.

Yes , I agree, especially those that want to shoot lighter weights...wish they had 30 or 31's

they are a tad lighter in spine than the thunderstorm...i believe they spine at .530 and only come in 29"..... they also will not accept the internal screw in weights...im assuming you are talking about the heritage 90....

When we suggested to CX people to make a lighter spine shaft for trad people, they did so. They discontinued the Thunderstorm SE (spiderweb finish)and made it the Heritage 90. I personally talked to the person who owns the company who distributes the CXs, he was unaware the 90 was not made longer. I was told they will try to correct this issue. The Eastman people are excellent people to work with, they listen to our need and try to get us what we want.
