Do you shoot 100 grain or 125 grain broadheads and why?

100 gr for the compound bow and 125 gr for the recurve

Ahhhh gotcha, In my opinion its better to have an arrow go only halfway through and stay in so that the BH works as a blender inside as the deer runs off there by resulting in a faster kill. I shoot 70# cause I like it, plain and simple..haha

A blender....? If it works for you, I'm okay with it!

I started with 100gr. and have not had a reason to switch.

I shoot 100 grain on axis arrows at 60 lbs and 27 inch draw. I get 292 f/s and will never shoot at anything outside of 30 yards. If you are rigged up close to this and are also not comfortable shooting at an animal from outside that distance, I recommend 100 grain.

Nyslowhand. A pass through is a pass through and bigger heavier faster blah blah blah isnt going to get you anything in that scenario. We all know that every shot cant be the perfect shot. We all hope and most try there hardest to make that happen but when you stick a bone things start ot go downhill from there. I honestly believe and have seen from my own experience that the heavier grained arrow has more potential to drive through to the vitals. I used to shoot beaman carbon arrows, didnt like it when I struck a rib and the arrow tailwhipped upon entry and ended up coming out the same side in the rear of the doe, I went and switched to a easton carbon, and a couple years later same thing but arrow never came out of the deer and there wasnt any sign of the arrow, when field dressing it what a mess the arrow was inside its paunch and stuck into the hind quarter. I never had these issues with the old aluminum and after some research some advice I went back to a heavier shaft and bought easton full metal jacket arrows and so far so good. My total arrow weight in my hunting setup pushes 500 and I have not had a problem with deflection or breaking through bone. Now I also am at 70 lb draw and pushing 320 fps and I like it that way. I feel confident in my setup and it has not let me down. I think even more important is razor sharp broadheads. Im anal about keeping my heads sharp. I also have to agree with Doewacker an arrow stuck in the vital area and slicing and cutting while it is running off is more deadly than a pass through, however this tends to lead to a non-existant blood trail for a bit if that deer runs out of sight. With only one entry wound and even worse one entry wound shot out of a stand means the cavity has to fill with blood to the entry hole before you get good blood. Now with a pass through especially from a stand you have a high entry and a low exit and most blood loss will come out the low entry as it takes less time for the cavity to fill to that point. Just my thoughts and what works for me.

I shoot a 100 grain tip, due to arrow; weight(357 gr. gross), length (27") and FOC (12").
