I recently set up a bow for a man. The bow is a compound, set at 60lbs, and he insisted on me tuning his arrows to a 75 grain head. I asked him why, he just said, "thats what I want." I might have been spending to much time in the trad world where we tend to like a larger foc. Im not quite sure why he wants a light head. Yea it speeds up the arrow, but is loud. I also wonder about penetration. Anyone here use 75 grain, if so, what is the advantage?
I have used the vortex 75 grain for many years with great success. Taken a lot of deer and hog's with the broadhead. Many run no more than 30 yards before pilling up. My reason for shooting the small grain is speed, sound of your bow and arrow is heard by deer with ever bow and arrow shot; the trick is to get the arrow there before they can react to sound. Hope this helps you make up your mind if you want speed this will help and they fly like feild piont too. Jimbo good hunting!
