Default Broadhead weight

I just read an article about broadhead weight. It talked about needing a specific amount of forward weight (the broadhead) to get the best flight. You don' t want too light or too heavy a broadhead. Like in Goldilocks, you need the right size.

I' m shooting a 55#, Darton Avalanche Extreme; a 27.5" carbon extreme 200 arrow. Any ideas on what would be the best broadhead weight for this setup?

thanks,
Jack DeHaven

try tuning with a 100 grain. 100 seems to be the standard with most carbon shooters.

I think 100 grain should be right. But you should calculate your F.O.C. I like mine in the 10 to 12 % range.

Good Luck!
