Just remember there buddy. Everything is a trade-off in archery. Going with that heaver point will weaken the spine of your arrow which may affect your accuracy. I'm not saying that may or may not be the case here but it is something to consider.

i do not wont to go heavier on mybroad head unless i have to

and my understanding it that the heavier your arrow the lest speed and i would think Less speed means Less accuracy

Accuracy isn't dirctly related to speed.

Mass and velocity ARE directly related to down range kinetic energy.

At 69# with a hunting arrow of proper spine and a 100 grain tip, you'll be fine. Make sure it's paper tuned properly, and make sure you can pattern with it well from 20 to 30 yards. Don't try to fling it a mile!

I started bow hunting when I was 12, and I didn't pull anywhere near 69#.
