Default 100 gr. or 125 gr.

To begin, I've played the game of archery since I could pull her back. I'm 20, shot many deer with gun and bow, but never learned the technical stuff of bow hunting.

I shoot a 2009 Bear Truth 2 at 70 pounds of draw weight.

Since I can remember I have always shot 125 gr. not because it was the right thing, but its because they are the field points my dad always provided me with.

I shoot often and have groups that I am very happy with: around 1.5" at 15 yards, 2" at 20 yards, and 2.75" at 35 and 40 yards.

Whenever I speak to people about point grains, I don't know anyone who shoots 125. Seems like everyone shoots 100s.

So I guess my question is, what is the benefit of higher/lower weight? I realize one will have more penetrating power, but is it worth it?

Will accuracy improve as one shoots lighter?

Will moreenergy be conducted through lighter heads, heavier heads?

Thanks guys, any insight appreciated.
