Hi, any suggestion for a 125 gr screw in broadhead ? My set up is using a 100 gr brass insert and a 125 gr head, or would I be better off dropping insert weight 50 gr and going to a 15 gr head. Also has anyone used the Steel force Phat head and the DRT broadheads ?
Thanks, Gary

That is go to a 150 gr broadhead....To fat of fingers for the key board, sorry

In terms of arrow flight/performance, it won't make much difference how you configure (among the insert, adaptor, point) the 250 grains up front so you have a lot of choices. Select the head you want and then the appropriate weight inserts and/or adaptors to arrive at the 250 grains.

Orion, thanks for the reply. Whats your thoughts on a 2 blade head with no bleeders ? Seems like maybe with bleeders would make a better wound channel, or am I just overthinking again ?

I have used 125gr 2-blade Magnus Stingers with 100gr brass inserts With great success on both aluminum and carbon arrows.

I've killed a lot of critters with 4-blade Zwickey deltas. More recently have also killed a few with Wensel Woodsmans. Have also killed a number of deer and elk with two-blade Zwickeys and Abowyer single bevels. Number of blades depends a little on bow weight. If you're shooting more than 40#, a three- or four-blade head would be fine for deer size critters. Bioger critters , I'd be looking for more bow weight/efficiency and perhaps two-blade heads.
-
Zwickey Eskilites or the No Mercy for a heavier head.
-
I am one of the hold-outs that doesn't feel the need for a real head head.
I shoot 125 screw-in Snuffers with the standard aluminum inserts with my XX75 arrows.
If I need to go heavier I have a bunch of old Bear Razorheads that weigh 145 grains. I just find the Snuffers easier to sharpen. Well, the 4 I have left....

For 125 screw ins I’ve killed with stinger buzz cuts and muzzy 3 blade. I have no problem with hunting deer with any of the classic replaceable blade broadheads.
-
You have a 250 grain front end set up. What are you going to hunt with the broadhead you chose? And, what is your draw length and weight?
-
I've been using 125gr. Snuffers and Magnus II's. 125gr. Zwickey glue-ons for my woodies. If I were to look at other heads, it would be Ace.
-
Dropping the insert weight down to 50 grs. or less would give you the most options for broadhead choices.

Shoot straight, Shinken

I can’t think of any 125 gr broadhead that I want to use. Most that I use are 175-250 gr including insert. Use an aluminum insert so you can use a heavier broadhead.
-
I've had good luck with Magnus Stingers and German Kinetics (Silver Flame) 125gr. For the money, the Magnus Stingers are a good deal. Easy to resharpen also.
-
I use various weights of Helix, a 2-bladed single bevel broached 125-200, depending upon tuning needs and my quarry.
-
I've had great luck with the Cutthroat single bevels in 125 and 150gr. Highly recommend taking a look at them.
-
2 blade: Stingers
3 blade: Snuffer SS or Woodsman Elite are my favorites
-
If you like 3 blade, try the VPA Terminators-they're tough and fly very well.
-
Depending on the particular bow & arrow combo, i use Magnus Stinger 2-blade 125 or 150.
-
I've used the 125 Magnus Stingers for years now with not a single issue. I do use it as a four blade.
