With my 37# recurve, I shoot a 145 grain STOS broadhead and with my 42# recurve, I shoot a 160 grain STOS broadhead.

Out of my 51# bow --

300 grain 'Big Three' because it doesn't come in a 400 grain. Wouldn't need a 100gn insert then.

Arrow still weighs only 608.

Have found only one disadvantage to shooting these heavy BH's. Can't shoot Techna-Hunt.
May just have to acquire some custom made 300 gn mushroom tips.

i use carbons that are stiff enought to use 250 grn heads BUT on woodies i stick to 125 just cuz there easy to find in many different styles.

150gr. and 200gr. for me

125 gr. for me. But, I also use 100 gr. brass inserts to up the FOC weight.

Fletcher · « **Reply #27 on:** February 01, 2011, 03:50:00 PM »

I don't have any real numbers, but from what i see from wood arrow guys, 125 is still #1. Personally, I like 160+.

tradshooter · « **Reply #28 on:** February 01, 2011, 03:58:00 PM »

145 but going to 195 and maybe heavier. Got to see how they fly. I have had to drop down in bow poundage, as I injured my shoulder, so I am going to up my point weight and FOC for what should give me better penetration....hopefully!

WoodsyDave · « **Reply #29 on:** February 01, 2011, 04:04:00 PM »

I have shot 142gr for years. Am considering going up to 160....

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm curious. I am planning on shooting a 125 Bear Razorhead (old model) with a 50/75 grain insert for deer next year. If using a carbon arrow and assuming blade size and diameter is equal for a 125 and 200 grain bh (may not be possible in some cases), what difference is there between shooting a 200 grain bh and a 125 grain bh with a 75 grain insert? Why not go with a lighter head and use inserts to add weight (especially if looking for smaller blades)?
