The Heritage 350's from 3 Rivers are 33" I would imagine the 250's are the same.

All of the Carbon Express Heritage 250 arrows I have gotten (factory sealed packages), and I think the number is about 6 dozen over the last 2 years, are 32.75" form valley of nock to bop.

I'm footing them with aluminum, and using the aluminum insert to gain 3/4" on my arrows to give my fingers a little room when broadheads are there.

Just getting into trad archery.  Good to hear there are "man sized" shafts available.  Thought I was going to have use one of the telephone poles down the street.  BTW - I am 6'8", barely need a treestand at this height.   :)  LOL

On a serious note, how do you foot a carbon with aluminum?  I have some GT Trads that are too short at full length.
