Brandon...most of the guys/gals around this site are going heavier and heavier on the front end.  Just out of curiosity, why only 100 grains?

i saw a picture of a nice single bevel in the last issue of TB magazine, if you cut it out it may way around 100 grains, lol   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:   :biglaugh:just kidding

bmb,

What kind of shafts are you using. The reason I ask is that, with the right insert, you may be able to use a 100-grain glue-on head and keep everything the same weight.

all jokes aside, i shot 2018's at 32'' with my first bow but i managed to shoot 150 grain heads, i don't know of any 100's might have to bump up to 125's with a cone glue on adapter to go single bevel

Tusker makes a glue on 100 grain model that you can get in right or left bevel.  If you took a file to it and lowered the bevel some, put a tanto tip on it and used a short adapter you would be very close to 100 grains.

Like Jason said above, I believe you can get tapered inserts for the 2018 that would replace your screw on inserts and allow you to use glue on heads as another option.

Not all the guys are going heavy and heavier!  I like my 125's and they're fast and straight!

The blade will be thin enough on a 100gn broadhead it would be a waste of time to worry about a single bevel on them.Just get a Stinger or Buzzcut and save yourself some headache. jmo

The Tusker 100 grain blade is just as thick as the 160.  They make a really nice single bevel. But they are 5/16", not 11/32, so the glue on inserts may not work, which would leave the short adapter as your only option.

Kustom King would always be my choice for getting the inserts or adapters.
