What I meant by "up-front" is that saying you shoot a 125 grain broadhead doesn't always accuately reflect your total weitht on the tip.  Lots of folks use brass or steel inserts behind their broadheads or foot their shafts.  For example, if a person is shooting a 150 gr. Stinger with 100 gr. brass insert, then they are really shooting 250 grains up front.      Possibly I stated it incorrectly.

so far this is my setup 69' bear k-mag,cedar arrows w/125 grn zwickey eskimo 2 blades, and a wyandotte back quiver
