Broadheads???

[bassfisher315]

I have a pack of 125 grain broadheads on my arrows, but i was wonder if i went down to a 100 grain if it would still do me good. I have to have a 100 grain at the least. What do yall think that i should do? Get new 100's or stay with my 125's. I am shooting a carbon express:carbon thunder arrow on a Diamond Razors Edge bow. emoBang emoPoke emoScratch emoConfused emoThanks emoPlease

What kind of hunting will you be doing? If it is strictly Whitetail, then there is no real need to go above a 100 grain broadhead unless you just want to. A 100 grain broadhead is more than enough to take a deer if the shot placement is in the right spot. Now if you were planning on going on an archery Elk hunt, then I would suggest the 125 grain for a little more power for penetration, but a 100 grain will still do the job on an Elk as well.

You will get more FPS out of a 100 grain over the 125. But you need to get some heads in both of the weights and go shoot a few dozen arrows. See which ones give you tighter groups and which you are more comfortable with and make your decision that way. Everyone has their own opinion, so the best thing for you to do is define your own opinion.

there is such a small speed factor between 125 and 100 i would say since you have the 125 save money and shoot them .the main thing is getting it in the lungs .If they fly good shoot them if they wont fly and you cant hit speed and penatration wont matter.100 gr is plenty for deer and 125 have killed a bunch of deer dead is dead the main thing is to practice with the head you are hunting with if they are fixed blade heads . if expadable heads get bigggggg cut

Best advice on here. Putting it in the lungs is the only thing that matters.

100 GRAIN MUZZY HAS ALWAYS DONE THE JOB FOR ME

Split the differance ... I use 115 gr 4 blade Muzzys. they work for me.

Just pick one out and stick with it. I've killed deer with both. The 125's will track truer in wind, but the 100's will be just a hair quicker and flatter...

I like 100's and 125's I have never got into all the lighter arrow, speed craze thats going on now adays. Recently I have been shooting rage 100's and will switch to the new rage 125's that just came out. I like a heavier arrow and tip just personal preference, I prefer an FOC in the upper range, if you have shot at enough deer speed is less a factor other than distance compensation. But if you shoot enough that wont be an issue. Id rather hit em with a lead pipe than a tooth pick. My compound arrows are right at 400 grains, and the arrows in my recurve are a whopping 700 grains with the weight tubes added. Light arrows are great untill you hit bone, The pig I shot in Florida last july was 15 yards away and that log of an arrow travling a fierce 165fps shot right through its shoulder blade into the lungs. The broad heads on my recurve with the steel adapters weigh in at 250 grains. JMO

i like ones that cut on contact and will still go deep even if they hit a bone i still get pass through shots even when i hit big bone and i shoot a pse dimond back at 72lb draw with 26" carbon arrows i think it shoots around 300fps and dont shoot at any thing over 40 yards the most important thing is shot placement my daughter has killed 2 ad her bow is 45lb and uses the same set up as me
