I'm going to echo what everyone else says about going a bit heavier with the head for your set up.  Might be worth a search to find the Stu Miller calculator and see if you can get a good starting point with a heavier head.

I'm biased because I work with VPA, but definitely take a look at the VPA heads.  Tough and super easy to sharpen, they'll do the job nicely and I think you would be super impressed with them.

While up at K-Zoo I heard a lot of guys saying how the Grizzly heads are looking better than ever and after looking at them I would agree, so they're worth a look too.  I think Bill is doing some good work with 'em.

If your arrows are properly tuned with 100-grain heads, your arrows are heavy enough to not damage your bow, and you like them, Bill suggested two excellent broadheads. If you double check your tuning and find you need a heavier head, there are tons of possibilities out there.

I currently shoot a 54# with 29" draw.Arrows are mfx 340s should have got 400s.I had to use 125gr steel adapters to get good flight. I got 3 whitetails this year with 4-blade zwickey deltas.Two of the three were complete passthrus.They will be my go to head for the future. I have also used stos and zwicky 4- blade eskimos with good results. Hope this helps.
