Help me pick a CX Heritage shaft

[IAOUTDOORSMAN]

First of all I'm shooting a Hornes Traditionalist longbow.  I'm drawing around 55# at 29 1/2".

I wish to shoot 250 gr up front (100gr insert + 150gr screw in woodsman).  The shortest I want my arrow with my draw length is 30 1/2".

I have an arrow saw and full lenghth 150's and 250's.  I plan on doing the three fletched three bare shaft planing method.  I have shot the 150's full length with 250gr up front and they seem pretty weak.

Sooo... my question is.... can I get a CX Heritage 150 to be stiff enough before reaching or at 30 1/2", or should I start with the 250 shafts?

I also have 50gr inserts and would not be against shooting 200gr up front.  If I did this I would have to add a weight tube to the 150's to get back to my 10gpi.

no shoot the 250's just leave them long.at that drw lngth, try them full length first.

I think the 250's will be your best choice also

Me three...

I shoot 250's at 30" and I agree that you'll need the 250's. Half an inch can make a difference, so trim down gradually.

If you want to sell the full length, uncut 150's with their aluminum inserts, give me a jingle.

In fact, I have some new 250 shafts I'd trade for new 150's...

I think you're right on the edge with your draw weight/length.. You could probably get by with either if they and your bow was set up right.

Yes, 250's. I shoot'em out of RC and LB with FF; 57-60lbs @ 29,225-250 upfront;30.25"

250's 30 1/2" with 275 up front 100 grain brass insert 75 grain adapter in a snuffer. Total weight 650 gr. flies great from My 62" Tomahawk 54 at 28" drawn to 29".

Depends alot on your bow "center-shot". My Shrew is #53 @ 29.5". It likes 150's cut to 31" w/50g insert  and 175g point. Right about 600g total arrow weight.

Thanks to everyone.  Looks like I'll be going with the 250's for sure.    

[Shawn Leonard]

Sorry to disagree but cut to 30.5"s and 250 up front, I would shoot the 150s. You want them to bareshaft a tad weak. I believe out of that D shaped bow the 250s wil be stiff. I have done a lot of testing with the Heritage shafts and shot them out of lots of bows. Experiment a bit more before getting rid of the 150's. Shawn

Shawn is right 25os will be stiff try 150 and I bet they fly Perfect,, If you shoot the 250s you should leave them 31`` and 100 gr inserts and 200gr points  

[daveycrockett]

I'm shooting the 250's at 30.75" 50 grain insert and 125 grain point out of my ACSCX 58&30". They fly better than any other combo that I tried from this bow.

[Flint Head]

I just set my Kmisha Shadow up with 150's... I draw 26" and shoot 47#. These bare shafted perfect at 28 1/2" with 50g brass inserts and a 175 point. I don't think the 150's are as stiff as advertised.

[LKH]

I contacted CX when I wasn't able to find anymore of the CX Terminator Hunter 45/60's.  They suggested the Heritage 250.

[IAOUTDOORSMAN]

Well then... guess I'll start with the 150's and move up to the 250's if they don't work.  Thanks again for the advise.  I'll post my results when I get them.
