Paul,

You did not specify whether the broadheads should be 175 grains in a glue-on or a screw-in version. Of course, if it is a glue-on and you need to add a broadhead adapter, the broadhead weight will increase significantly.

Abowyer is supposed to be coming out with their screw-in broadheads soon for those of us who like to have something pre-made that allows us to unscrew the field tips and screw in a broadhead right out of the package. Very good broadheads.

The Zwickey Delta is 170 grains and is inexpensive.

Tusker has the Aztec in a 175 grain glue-on that is also inexpensive.

Magnus makes the Snuffer in a 170 grain screw-in version.

Alaska Bowhunting Supply makes the Samurai and Massai broadheads in 175 grain screw-in. They are very high quality and the price reflects it. The same is true for the 180 grain Silver Flame screw-in.

Using various glue-on broadheads with screw-in adapters you can make up 175 grain broadheads if you want total weight to be 175 grains.

Zwickey Delta glue-ons are 135 grains before sharpening.  170 or so sounds about right with an aluminum adaptor.

see any 125 grn glue on with 37 or 42 grn alum adapters will get you real close.. or 75 grn steel adapters w/100 grn heads(magnus, grizzly, zwickey... there's plenty...
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
