Which grizzly broadhead set up to use?

[shortstroke 91]

I'm currently in the process of switching from a 125 grain broadhead on 100 grain brass insert to a 250 grain broadhead on the same 100 grain brass insert. This will put my total weight @ 540 grains. My question is would you use the 125 grizzly on a 125 steel adapter with the 100 grain brass insert or the El Grande 150 grain on a 100 grain adapter and 100 grain brass insert? I'm shooting a #47 Quinn Stallion Classic @ my draw length if it matters.

i suppose the only thing different is the cut width. also is one cheaper than the other?

I would use the Griz 190 on the 75 grain steel adapter.  The 190 will be about 175 once you take down the angle and get it sharp.

Another suggestion...I like the 160 head on a 100 grain adapter. I think the 160 is a really nice sized head and is thicker than the 125's.

I second the Grizzly 190 El Grande.

I have had good luck with the 160s but now that KME is providing professional sharpening service for them, I'm moving up to the 190 El Grande. Also be aware that before the next fall big game seasons, STOS will be offering an Ashby-style head in weights up to 240 grains with Tanto tip, left single bevel, and ceremic/cabon coating. Ah, but that's a glue-on. In general, unless you need 'em for pigs or such, now is a good time not to buy new broadheads but to wait and see what the industry comes up with through the summer. Meanwhile, ABS offers a 300-grain (in fact about 294) practice head and I think 3Rivers has a 250. If you can get all the weight you want with a head, without weight adaptor, that's one less component to buy and mess with and probably nets a stronger system up front.

The 125's and 150's are the same thickness, so it comes down to size preference there.

The 160 on the 100 grain steel adapter was an excellent suggestion by Ringneck.  After sharpening that arrangement would be right where you want for weight and would be stronger than the other options you mentioned, although none of those set ups should have any problem IMO.

I have 160s on 100 grain steel adapters.

Great head,

I believe that the el grandes are made a little harder as well. Not same as grizzlys 125. I currently shoot 190s with 75 grain insert and 100 grain brass insert.

Good point amicus, the regular Grizzlies average 51 hrc, the El Grandes average 52, that is according to Grizzly.

The regular 160's and the El Grande 190's are the toughest (and thickest) Grizzlies IMO.

Bigger the better
