Default Broadhead Q

My old bow (60lb draw)I shot 125 gr G5 Tekan II's, with my new setup (74 lb) I've been shooting 100gr heads... I just put a new sight on the bow (Didn't care for the one that came on it), and obviously need to sight it in. Would I best served sticking with the 100gr heads and buying new broad heads, or just buy some 125 gr field tips and sight it in with those and be able to use the Tekan II's that I have? Thanks...

You have to re-sight anyway, so if you're happy with them, use your old Bheads and buy new fieldpoints.

If you plan on using the same arrows you used for the 60 lb draw youwill probablyhave to stick to the 100 gr heads. Even then you may have an issue with being underspined. The arrow's spine is probably not stiff enough for the higher draw weight and throw on the 125 gr tips and the only way they would work is if the arrows were way overspined to begin with.
