[Terry Green]

175....cause its the weight I've been shooting 95% of the time since the mid 80s and its done the job for me over and over and over.

I have used heavier heads/adapters at times for certain animals...but you did ask for our favorite.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

125, for the same reasons Terry posted.

[Terry Green]

Oh....and just for the record....I am counting the long adaper for the total weight.  135 grain head with the 42 grain long adaptor.

Sharpening takes off a little, and the epoxy brings it back to 175 or there abouts.

If you are not wanting to count the adapter...then 135 grains....which aint on the list...but I did vote 175.

[BobW]

Had to choose 150 off the list, though it is actually 135/145...(Deadheads, Stos, Eclipse, etc.).

For me, that is the heaviest tip I can go on wood shafts.  At 32+" of draw, the shaft needed on a 56# bow is 105/109# spine class.  Not easy to locate.....  Can't imagine what I would need to shoot the 215gr heads I wanted to use (Aboyer Whitetails).

depends on what im hunting.

[Mike Gerardi]

With wood shafts I like 160grn glue on. Crabon shafts around 250grn total upfront. I like a brass insert and a steel adapter with my carbon shafts.

I am not an fan of arrows that are too light. When carbons came out and most of us tried all the different methods of adding weight the experiments done by Bob Morrison caught my attention. Heavy FOC seemed to do two things...it added the additional weight that I  was looking for and the heavier FOC afforded me demonstrable increases in penetration. I found I got the best of both worlds using heads in the 200-250 grain range (that's total weight with adapters, inserts, etc.)  The deciding factor for me, however, is not the weight of the head, per se, but what weight gave me the best bare shaft results. A straight flying arrow is way better for penetration than a very heavy arrow that is not flying properly.

NOT SURE: I have bowhunted for close to 20 years with a compound and 2 years ago I went all traditional.Always used 125gr.But now I think I need to go heavier.But how heavy? And keep front of center within it's limits.

Been using the 135 grain-2 blade-magnus I on a 40ish grain adapter, so 175g, but I'm trying the 220g Phantoms this year(different bow setup)! Either way  -on both bows - somewhere around 250 total up front with inserts included.

[tradtusker]

iv been shooting 250 gr for a while now but have some grizzly's for the bigger game that weight 300gr

[Chris Surtees]

Started shooting 250 gr this year and am really liking it.

[KentuckyTJ]

I checked 200, but actually I use a 100 grain b.h. with a 100 grain brass insert.

[SlowBowinMO]

I find 125 gr broadheads the most versatile for me and plenty strong enough in most versions.

With a 125 head I can build a total point weight of 125 to 350 grains with ease using available components, with any shafting material.

My total point weight is usually much higher than 125, but not always.

160 gr stos with a 42 gr insert when shooting aluminum and just the 160 gr stos on wood.

[wtpops]

150 here, more or less not by choice. I have a 31" draw and dont have a lot of leeway on arrow lengh for tuning. I shoot a 32" arrow and 95% of the time a 150 grain head brings that right in to tune.

Everyone say a long draw is a good thing and it is but it does have draw backs just like being tall, you bump your head all the time. Beinging tall and having a long draw can be a pain in the but sometimes but i guess i woundn't trade it.

[WildmanSC]

My BH weight is 125 gr.  I have a 100 gr insert on the front end of my GrizzlyStik Sitka arrows.  My all time favorte BH is the Thunderhead 160 which is no longer available.  It had a 1-9/16" cutting diameter and did it ever leave a blood trail!  

I couldn't remember "Thunderhead" so I did a search on broadheads and although I didn't see Thunderhead I did see NAP.  I clicked on it and I see Thunderhead offers an all steel Thunderhead Magnum that weighs 170 gr.  I'm not exactly sure what the cutting diameter is for the magnum.  Two different diameters were given on the website, 1-1/8" and 1-1/4".  It doesn't matter, I won't be shooting them.  I prefer a 2-blade, sharp to the point head with my 46-48#@28" recurves.
