What arrow weight do you prefer?

[lpcjon2]

For deer which do you prefer an arrow with extreme head weight(250gr + ) up front or a moderate weight(125-160gr).  

[Running Buck]

I have been using 250 grain heads on my goldtips for well over 10 years now. Always get good results.

[Bjorn]

I only shoot wood so too much upfront and I run out of spine. 175 gn is tops for me.

[Bowwild]

I'm a 100-125 grain fan. However,  with the 100 grain head I use a 50 grain plus 25 grain brass insert so this makes the 100 grainer a 175. I'll probably change this next year so more weight is in blades rather than the insert -- same Helix broadhead but probably a 150 grain+. The heavier model is a bit thicker blade and wider too.

If you're just talkin' about total weight up front including the insert, I'm a fan of FOC. I like over 200 grains up to around 250 total weight up front.

I try and stay with basic 125's. With the adaptor they make either a 145 or 160 depending.  My "Heavy" arrows use the steel 125 adaptor. That one puts me at 250+

These fly great out of my BW's.  In fact I can change arrows between at least two bows, a recurve and a LB, pulling 5 lbs difference and not see much difference.  Actually, these arrows weigh in (total weight) 10.6 gr/lb of draw at 18.76 gr/inch on the long bow and 9.42 gr/lb at 14.62 gr/inch. These are AD shafts. Light compared to what a lot of folks are shooting.  The have both passed through deer at 20 yds.

175 up front.

[Andy Cooper]

For deer I shoot wood and use 125 grain Grizzlies or Magnus.

[Friend]

Target for 300 to 400 up front.

[Night Wing]

For my 42# bow, I prefer a 200 grain point tip weight and for my 37# bow, I prefer a 180 grain point tip weight.

[Magilla]

Wood with 160 grain snuffers

[screamin]

200 flies best for me.

[onewhohasfun]

100grn. brass insert, 125 grn. adapter, 145 grn STOS, now wheres my calculator?

[Benner]

160-175 on wood and 250-275 0n carbons.

[cbCrow]

aluminum arrows and 125gr. snuffers

[dave19113]

extreme up front... 200gr minimuim...

[cacciatore]

I don't care really much for deer about arrow weight on front,but I use anyway a 550-650 grs arrow with 250 up front.Little bit heavier for elk and boar.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

I've been shooting unweighted Beman ICS carbons and 125-grain heads for about ten years now. Pass throughs haven't been a problem, even on my bull moose.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Moderate, heavy shafts w/ 125 grain heads is my recipe.

[Bird Dog]

150-170
