Stay with the 100 grain heads for a better FOC.

X2. Also, pay attention to the various elements of your arrow spine - although a lighter broadhead is going to make your arrow a little stiffer, which is not normally as much of a problem as something that would make it weaker - but I like to be as close to ideal as possible.

Also, 15 grains of arrow weight is only going to net you about 5 fps in increased arrow speed. This is insignificant.

This is much more important than a couple fps.
