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.

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

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

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!

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)?
