140 or 155 Grizzly

So I've made up some wood arrows and I'm getting great flight with 145 grain field points. I was going to order some grizzlies to do some BH tuning but since the ones I'm seeing are 140 and 155 I was wondering what you all liked. I doubt I'll be able to tell a difference either way so I was leaning to the 155's, just for the extra weight.

I agree. The 155 gr has slightly more weight, but its also thicker, making it both physically tougher and the single bevel edge face will be larger. That causes a bit more rotational force. Both heads will be fine though.

The 140 because it's a cool brown color lol I wish they still made the 130 in the red color

Yes, the 140's do look nice with the brown!!

I can not say it better than, Shadowhunter already has.

Michael, I still have a few of the discontinued red 130's. They may all be right bevel though. I can not remember for sure just now. I'll be happy to check if you would like.

The really cool thing about Grizzly heads is that you can micro tune to your individual tendencies without sacrificing killing power.  Many people have a tendencies to shoot slightly short when shooting downward at game. In that case a head that allows some spine forgiveness to the soft side would help to insure straighter arrow flight, which in your case the 155 would do nicely.  Out to 30 yards I cannot tell in flight if an arrow has a slightly heavier head. Perhaps broad heads are more aerodynamic.

I'm shooting the 200 grain black ones out of my new setup, and they are flying great!

I can't wait to fling one at a turkey!

Just left Bill's place here in Ohio.  What a GREAT guy!!  I'll definitely be buying from him again and if I can keep things from breaking down at the house, maybe one day I'll have a Zipper Longbow in the arsenal!!
