Title: Carbon Express Heritage
Post by: frassettor on June 22, 2021, 06:39:01 AM
I really enjoy these arrows, but I was told by a couple of the sponsors that carbon express is no longer making arrows. There are a couple other manufacturers that are winding down to. Does anyone know what's going on with our arrow supply.?

Well if that is true this can't be good.  I've shoot several brands of carbon arrows but I just started shooting carbon express heritage arrows 2 summers ago.  I like 'em.  Might have to stock up on a couple of dozen.

That would be very unfortunate news, I've shot them for years now.

What exactly does that mean 'winding down'?  And are you talking about styles of arrows or companies?

Hes talking about the Heritage line of arrows
I believe.I heard they were gonna discontinue them as well and that was quite awhile ago.

Too bad.They were heavier and tough arrows.You can find alternatives though.

Hopefully it's not true. I will say that I have seen rumors of them going away posted (here and other locations)...on and off for years and years now. Maybe, it's a it's a marketing ploy to get me stock up with another dozen. I have been using Cx He arrows for a long long time. I like them....and don't want to have to change.

I called CE directly about the Heritage line a couple months ago and they said that line is discontinued.

He contacted me personally and it's a little bit more than just that.

I have a dozen of the heritage shafts. I hate them. The blow up when I stump shoot. My gold tips never have. They were also spined like wet noodles.

I've shot the 90's and 150's for years and have never experienced what you have described. If the Heritage is indeed discontinued, look at the predator xsd shafts! Over 9gpi for the 500's.

I find that hard to believe in fact i found goldtips to be very inconsistent especially going back 15yrs when they were known to mark their seconds as perfectly straight and got caught,,, i never shot another goldtip after that.
