Check out carbon express heritage 150's

If you are shooting 2117s then look at carbons in the 400 spine.If you want heavy the Heritage 250s will probably work with a 175gn or 200gn point since they are a little stiffer than what you are using.

AD Trad Lites with 200-225 FOC will work fine.

Blackhawk vapor carbonwoods they're made for traditional bows you should go with the 3000 size (45-60s) cut them an inch to an inch and a half longer than your draw length. The only carbon arrows tougher than these are the grizzly sticks and  they are best price by fare. I use 145 grain points but 125s will work to.

When I changed to carbons I bought some 100 gr brass inserts and had some 100,125,145,175,and 200 gr points. Some I had and the rest I ordered from 3 r's. I started bare shaft shooting and triming the arrow and changing point weights until I found a combo that flew like a dart bare. I then crested them and four fletched. In two years of almost daily shooting I have lost one arrow. Pretty tough and they are either straight or broken. No more bent arrows. I shoot GT55/75 XT Hunters with 225gr up front. I shoot 48# @ 28". Arrows are 29.5". For target and 3D I use the aluminum insert (25gr) and a 200 gr point. For stumps and hunting I use the 100 gr brass insert and either a 125 gr broadhead or a 125 judo point.

I would agree try a heritage 150 cut to 30"s and  200-225 up front, I bet with the 225 up front it will be about perfect. Shawn

Can I jump on with a related CX heritage question? I'm 46@28 drawing 28 + a smidge. Will 150s work or am I going to have to go to the 90s? Cut to center and ff string. thx

A 2117 spines 400.He is shooting it and it works from his bow with a 125gn point.If he gets a 400 spine carbon it will work very close to the same with maybe a slight point weight change.I don't understand the thinking that some of you want him to try and shoot a weaker spined arrow with more point weight on the front.  :confused:  If it was all guess work it would be one thing but he knows what works from his bow and matching it should be a piece of cake.  :knothead:
