Title: Heritage 150 = what Gold Tip
Post by: BowHuntingFool on December 07, 2008, 06:07:00 PM
Hey guys, I'm wanting to make up some small game arrows for bunnies, squirrels and birds etc... Right now I'm shooting a 50# bow, 3 under, with CX Heritage 150's cut to 30", 50gr brass inserts with a 125gr head up front and my arrows fly true! What Gold Tip would be an equal to this set up?? Any help would be great. I'm thinking of looking for some blemished GT's because of the price knowing I'll be loosing some sooner or later!

Thanks!

35-55 should get you there

I don't think you'll be able to keep the exact length, weight as the 150's.  Probably have to bare shaft tune them.  The 150's act a little stiffer to me than the 35/55's.  I shoot the same poundage as you.  You should be close, may have to play with the length a little.

The 150's are .487 and the 35/55 are .500 spine not much difference.

The 150 will shoot slightly stiffer. We have found the 150 will need to be about 1/2-1" longer or the point will need to be 25-50 grains more than if using the 3555.

I'm keeping an eye on your site for the 35/55 blems so I guess I'll call you when I see them in stock on your site! Thanks guys!
