It seems that the heavier the head, the better my arrows shoot.  For many years, I shot glue on 160's as they were about the heaviest available.  Now that heavier broadheads are becoming available, I'm moving heavier.  My last kill was with a 190 Terminator on a Sitka Spruce shaft with 50 grains of lead up the nose.  Total arrow weight was 620 gr with a 21% FOC.

160 grain glue on for wood shafts.

160 grain glue on plus adapter for aluminum shafts.

I have ordered some heavier adapters, and some heavier broadheads that I will be tinkering with.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Well, this is tough, depends on the bow...

175 grain 2-blades out of about half of my bows...  So, probably the one used most of the time.

200 grain 3-blades out of a couple

260 grain 2-blades out of most all of my "heavy weight" bows (65# plus...)

125 grain 2 and 3 blades out of one bow...

Friends call me Pac

I've tried 125-175 gr heads and I can never make up my mind.  So this year I'm splitting the difference and gouing with a 150 gr head.
