    Preferred Broadhead weight - Whitetails

    What are the pros and cons regarding 100 grain vs. 125 grain broadheads?
    Is there an appreciable difference with regards to penetration, etc.?

    #2
    Used to shoot them with 75 grains. I currently shoot 100gr with 50gr brass inserts and it's more than adequate for whitetails. My arrow setup weighs around 465grs total which may actually be a little on the heavier side for whitetails than what most people normally use but it's great for hogs.
    Sharp blades and shot placements are the 2 keys things.
    100gr are the easiest to find anywhere in case you forget broadheads and need to grab some at a store.

        I also shoot 100gr heads, but use a 100gr brass insert so I have 200gr up front. My total arrow weight is a little over 500grs. Man do they hit like a hammer. I also agree with the post above stating 100gr is a little easier to find. Shoot what makes you happy. Maybe get a BH the will let you change the gr weight to play with and see what suites you.

          100gr for everything in NA no reason for more

            I shoot 125s as they typically have a larger cut diameter. I also add 50 grains of insert to a light arrow for a high FOC.

            Not needed for Texas white tails but I'm a bit of a geek like that.

              100 gr mostly. Easier to find and more options. But I have 100 extra grains of insert weight

                125s with 100 of insert. More total weight = more momentum. Another benefit is my bow is quieter at the shot.

                  I like to shoot 150 grain heads.
                  But they are heard to find.

                  I might go back down to 100 grain again just cause they're easier to find

                      I’m the same, not sure what kind of heads you shoot, but I contacted slick trick and the 150 grain x bow model works on a compound bow. I’m ordering some to tryout myself.

                            I used to always shoot 100gr but switched to 125 last year to help up my total arrow weight. I’m a few grains over 500 now.

                              There is no real noticeable difference. A 125 just helps your arrow weight and foc a bit.
