Roger....might be different if it was more specific....some heads glue on, some screw on, some are glue ons made to be screw ons with adapters....

If its JUST the head, then I would have voted for 125

I wanted the heaviest head that I can get to tune because it gives me more confidence that as long as I do my job, the broadhead will be allowed to perform as it was designed. Never heard of overkill, but I darn sure dont want to be worried about if my setup is lethal enough

125 grain Ace standard glued to wood. I've use heavier, up to 190 grain Ribtecks and Simmons. Didn't see any advantage on deer over the 125's. Has more to do with arrow flight...now if I was to hunt cape buffalo.

I would shoot 175 grn. if I could get that weight head for wood arrows, so I shoot either 160 or 125 depending on my set up.
