Your most used Broadhead weight?
« on: September 01, 2010, 04:49:00 PM »
With so many reccomendations and opinions on broadhead weights, I am curious as to what most of you are shooting.

What is the broadhead weight you most often use?

Is that weight with or without adaptors included?

Straight shafts,
Chuck

Seems like everytime I need a screw in BH it's always 175gr for some reason.

Glue ons I like a 145.

I have always prefered the heavier (145+) heads, but this year I traded for some 125 screw in Snuffers and took out the threaded inserts to come up with 100 grain heads.  They fly like darts, and total arrow weight is right around 550 grains.  So I figure why mess with it if it is working good.  I'm anxious to see how they perform this season.

My buddy is suggesting that I use a Stoss 160 gr. 2-blade. Said he had a super clean pass through last year! So I think I might just try 'em!
