For many years the 125 gr. broadhead was the most popular with Traditional bowhunters. I wondering if this is still the same issue??? I shoot heads in the 200 gr. area how about you?

125 gr. In 30+ years the heaviest I ever used were 145gr.

175gr because a Zwicky Delta 4 blade and insert equals 175.

160 for me

Ive shot 'em all up to 160gr i guess! If i beef up to a heavier wood shafting i beef up the head as well! It usually goes hand in hand with what i have planned for fall hunts, and i usually begin shooting those arrows in the winter prior! Like this year for example im goin on my first ever elk hunt, im shooting 525gr german pine shafts tipped with a 160gr point for spine(685gr total arrow wt), so id vote 160gr should a poll present itself!

125 Woodsmans and 160 STOS.

I'm gonna give the 160 Woodsmans a try this coming fall.

I have killed everything from rabbits up to moose and bison, and have never saw the need for anything above 160.

If I was to try some 300 gr heads, I would need some 120# plus spine cedars or fir. Those may be hard to come by!

Funny how things change. Seems like forever, bowhunters shot 125's or maybe 130's. Only the "heavy bow" guys would shoot the 160 snuffer.

Now with the newfangled carbon shafts, everyone add point weight instead of going to ash or some other dense wood.

IMO, the 125's are the 30-30 cartridge of broadheads. 100 years from now of course that won't be true but up until 4 or 5 years ago, they were the norm. Still are for me. I don't see where I gain anything with a heavier broadhead as long as my bow is tuned properly.

125 gr on POC or DF shafts.
