I know this might be a matter of opinion to many about which is best...but those who own spine testers, which shaft do you believe is more consistent?

Though I shoot gt's, I like the heritage better. They are a bit thicker and therefore heavier.

  • Leon Stewart 3pc. 64" R/D 51# @ 27"
  • Gordy Morey 2pc. 68" R/D 55# @ 28"
  • Hoyt Pro Medalist, 70" 42# @ 28" (1963)
  • Bear Tamerlane 66" 30# @ 28" (1966)- for my better half
  • Bear Kodiak 60" 47# @ 28"(1965)

I have never broke a heritage and just recently imploded the front end of 6 dozen goldtip trads.

I prefer the heritage arrows personally

CE's for me. I have used both and much prefer the Heritages.

The .500 spine Carbon Express Heritages are 10.1 gpi, Gold tips are 8.6

I also like the nocks better in the CE's, the GT's are very tight and hard to turn. I have also had glueing issues with the GT's.

As said above the Heritages are tougher also.

I just recently got some GT's and like them. I actually got a deer with them this year,but I think I prefer the Heritage.

The CX are tougher but I usually need a stiffer arrow than their stiffest model, it's easier to get the FOC up on a GT Trad and they come in stiffer spine.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

Heritage for me. I never broke one. I broke many GTs. Plus I found the Heritage to be more consistent in spine than the GTs. I used to always buy blem GTs, so I don't know if that made a difference.

Heritage for sure gts are to light. And I don't like messing with weight tubes.

House

Put me in the catagory of tried both and only shoot the Heritage now...or wood, and sometime Arrow Dynamics...

I am definitely a CE Heritage fan, and there was no comparison in durability to the GT blems....

But that being said, i've been told the GT Traditional shafts are night and day difference from the blems, so i ordered a dozen to try out for 3D... I haven't even got them built yet, so It may be a while before i can honestly compare them to the Heritage.

I quit using GT after one broke on me and went into my wrist.

I have broken several Heritage 150. One I hit the 3D caribou this summer high in the back. It sounded like metal hitting metal and drove the insert and tip up into the shaft splitting it.

Also split two at the nock end. I think they hit the metal pipe in the turkey target that the metal anchoring stakes fit in.

Used both.  GT through Big Jims are a great economic deal.  Sure have their place.  Switched to CE as I was caught between GT spines. . . Agree with most here- the Heritage really is a more sturdy/durable shaft.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

I've only shot the gold tips. Never had a good reason to switch.
