How do you choose broadheads?
To keep headaches to a minimum, pick a broadhead that weighs the same as your field points – 100 grains, 125 grains, etc. Ideally, the broadhead should fly just like your field points. This means you won’t have to adjust your sights before hunting with them.
How heavy of a broadhead should I use?
Industry experts recommend 100-gr. broadheads for carbon and lightweight aluminum shafts, and for heavy aluminum shafts, 125-gr. heads. Once you decide which weight and style of broadhead you want to use, it is incumbent upon you to set up and tune your bow for true broadhead flight.
What does 100 grain broadhead mean?
