Which carbon would you choose??

[Bullfrog 1]

Heritage, gold tip or the Beman mfx(no longer with us)?

I'm having the best luck right now with the Heritage Carbon Express.

Been shooting the Gold Tip blems from Big Jim and have had no problems.

Gold tip blems or Beman ICS from Big Jims work great and I love the price!

[threeunder]

Of those 3 it would be CX Heritage....however, you might want to look at AD Trads.  You won't regret it.

I shoot Heritage 150, and gold tip trad 3555 and 5575.  Obviously, I can't help you pick just one.

I fall between the 3555 and 5575 spine at times with the bow types, weights, and my draw length.  Often the one is too light and the other is longer and heavier than I would like. The Heritage 150 kind of falls between those a little for me.  I just don't fit solidly into the 500 or 400 spine range.  I do think both are very durable and it is just hard to beat GT trad blems for budget arrows.

Since MFX are no longer being made I would suggest Axis Traditional. Had success with Axis shafts. Lately I've been using AD Trad. They are very forgiving.

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

Axis or beman mfx for me.  The finish on the gold tips is not as smooth as the other two.  I have had numerous animals react to the sound of drawing gold tips back.  I have broke far more gold tips as well.  Stump shooting I break gold tips probably 3 to every 1 axis.

Axis Trads. They are a fine replacement of the MFX Classics. I shoot em every day!  Easton is doing more to support the future of youth archery than all arrow makers combined --- by a ton!

[cacciatore]

Of the 3 I really prefere the Carbon Express Eritage.

[kadbow]

Heritage for me.

[Bullfrog 1]

Here is why I ask and my Spiel...I have shot MFX for years and been happy with them. BUT the inserts are a pain and have moved on me while drying(yes laying them flat) and unless you foot them they would eventually mushroom. The deal breaker on them was I had one splinter and go through my hand(OUCH!!)
I have been pretty pleased with the heritage. I don't think as tough but pretty good and I like the weight and regular insert.
I have some GT's I just fletched up I will try this weekend. However, I did try them years ago and they were no way as durable as the mfx. Oh well.. The fun part of archery I guess.   BILL

If it matters to you, Carbon Express are made in Korea, Gold Tips are now made in Mexico, and as far as I know, Beaman/Easton carbons are still made in the US. Arrow Dynamics are 100% American made as well.

[sawtoothscream]

goldtip blems do to the price and strength. dont want to stump shoot with expensive arrows

[frassettor]

CX heritage shafts for me

[rraming]

I run the numbers through Stu's calculator which narrows it down for me. I shoot GT 5575 out of 51 lb bows, the others are too light or too heavy at my weight, in my mind anyway, I come out at 525 grains, there a outs anyway. Run those numbers and you may find some arrows too light or too heavy, if that's possible

[scedvm]

Everyone obviously has different opinions but I much prefer gold tip arrows to the carbon express for all 6 of my bows.  They just tune better for me
