For deer which do you prefer an arrow with extreme head weight(250gr + ) up front or a moderate weight(125-160gr).

I have been using 250 grain heads on my goldtips for well over 10 years now. Always get good results.

I only shoot wood so too much upfront and I run out of spine. 175 gn is tops for me.

I'm a 100-125 grain fan. However, with the 100 grain head I use a 50 grain plus 25 grain brass insert so this makes the 100 grainer a 175. I'll probably change this next year so more weight is in blades rather than the insert -- same Helix broadhead but probably a 150 grain+. The heavier model is a bit thicker blade and wider too.

If you're just talkin' about total weight up front including the insert, I'm a fan of FOC. I like over 200 grains up to around 250 total weight up front.

I try and stay with basic 125's. With the adaptor they make either a 145 or 160 depending. My "Heavy" arrows use the steel 125 adaptor. That one puts me at 250+

These fly great out of my BW's. In fact I can change arrows between at least two bows, a recurve and a LB, pulling 5 lbs difference and not see much difference. Actually, these arrows weigh in (total weight) 10.6 gr/lb of draw at 18.76 gr/inch on the long bow and 9.42 gr/lb at 14.62 gr/inch. These are AD shafts. Light compared to what a lot of folks are shooting. The have both passed through deer at 20 yds.

For deer I shoot wood and use 125 grain Grizzlies or Magnus.

Target for 300 to 400 up front.

For my 42# bow, I prefer a 200 grain point tip weight and for my 37# bow, I prefer a 180 grain point tip weight.

I don't care really much for deer about arrow weight on front,but I use anyway a 550-650 grs arrow with 250 up front.Little bit heavier for elk and boar.

Jason R. Wesbrock · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2010, 07:56:00 AM »

I've been shooting unweighted Beman ICS carbons and 125-grain heads for about ten years now. Pass throughs haven't been a problem, even on my bull moose.

PEARL DRUMS · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2010, 07:59:00 AM »

Moderate, heavy shafts w/ 125 grain heads is my recipe.

Bird Dog · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2010, 08:17:00 AM »
