RE: broadhead weight
Howdy DavidC.I don't think you should have any problems with the 125's.Your set-up is very similar to mine.I shoot a Martin Cheetah,29"draw @55-60# draw weight.I shoot Beeman ICS 400 carbons with 100 grain broadheads.I'm not familar with the PSE's,so I don't know how the spine compares to the Beemans.I would GUESS that you could probably go a little lighter and maybe pick up a little more speed without hurting anything.All in all,if it works,I wouldn't mess with it too much.Good luck,and good huntin'.....whackman

RE: broadhead weight
I agree with the above first, make sure your bow is tuned well. You may need to drop down to a 100 grn point, or you may just be fine with the 125's. More than likely either point wieght will shoot and tune for you with a little work. You won't realy gain that much speed with a 100 point, but I have found that for the most part, all thing being equell, the 100 points from the same manufacture tend to penitrate a bit better than their 125 grn counterparts. The differnce realy is small and not worth considering unless you are going to be hunting moose or elk with a marginal setup. Pick the one that shoots and tunes best for you.
