It seems that the heavier the head, the better my arrows shoot. For many years, I shot glue on 160's as they were about the heaviest available. Now that heavier broadheads are becoming available, I'm moving heavier. My last kill was with a 190 Terminator on a Sitka Spruce shaft with 50 grains of lead up the nose. Total arrow weight was 620 gr with a 21% FOC.

160 grain glue on for wood shafts.
160 grain glue on plus adapter for aluminum shafts.
I have ordered some heavier adapters, and some heavier broadheads that I will be tinkering with.

Well, this is tough, depends on the bow...
175 grain 2-blades out of about half of my bows... So, probably the one used most of the time.
200 grain 3-blades out of a couple
260 grain 2-blades out of most all of my "heavy weight" bows (65# plus...)
125 grain 2 and 3 blades out of one bow...

I've tried 125-175 gr heads and I can never make up my mind. So this year I'm splitting the difference and gouing with a 150 gr head.

125gr. - 150gr.
Even when I was shooting compound I tended to like the 125gr. heads for their flight.
My carbon Gold Tips have a 125gr. Woodsman w/ a 10gr. weight adapter & a 12gr. 1" piece of 2117 footer & they fly gerat for me.
My aluminum 2114's have 150gr. Snuffers on em.
