125gr vs 100gr
I was thinking about switching from 100gr field points and broadheads to 125gr to add a little more weight. I know it'll change my FOC and spine but my arrows are still good for that (maxima red 350s). Just wondering if there's any other differences between 100gr and 125gr or if it's simply just a little more weight.

how long are your arrows?
|
Depending on broad head they could have a longer profile or a larger cutting diameter.

:D For some it does wonders as it adds weight forward...
using a same brand they usually are close to length and may be 1/8 wider cut... POI [point of impact] is also usually close...at 20 yards minimal for most 30yd may be an inch 40yd two inch etc Best thing to do is practise with them to see how they fly at all distances you shoot. It will add to penertration due to added weight of arrow... I use them for that reason on elk Neil |
I made the switch from 125s to 100s for a bit more speed (I know it isn't much). I have yet to have an issue with penetration getting complete pass throughs on the last two elk I have shot using grim reaper heads...one bow was a 60lb Destroyer 350 and the other is a 70lb Invasion both using the same 385gr arrow...125s put that arrow at 410ish.

My arrows just fly best with the weight forward aspect. Neil |
I have seen a 200grain broadhead. The grizzlystik line. What would the benefits of that be?? And what would be required to shoot a 200g?

Also Used for bone busting heavy/dangerous African game like elephant... Neil |

Would result in a slow hard hitting arrow...would drop faster so close range is desired...but they should fly great! Here in Alberta an 125gr or even the 100 gr will take any animal we have including grizzly with approrite well tuned weight arrow... Neil |

I switched to 100's a several years ago...and rather quickly switched back to 125's. My arrows just fly better with the additional FOC, plus I use heavier fletchings (5 inch Shrinkwraps...my ugly cookie never liked the Blazers).
Who doesn't like extra KE and penetration. |
Broadhead
All you're talking about is 25 more grains that ain't squat and you shouldn't bother with it. If you. Want real penetration and are willing to put in the time with some experimenting then got for 250 or 300 grain heads but really that's for deep penetration for game that doesn't exist in alberta....
|
25 extra grains will give you an additional 5 foot- lbs of KE, given the same arrow speed.

I would add weight to the insert rather than the head. Gives the same result and 100 grain broadheads are more readily available. Higher FOC is beneficial for arrow flight and energy at impact. 2 very desirable results with very little effect on arrow speed.
