The question I have is should I go with a heavier weight arrow while moving down to a 100 grain arrow head?
Kpatte - The Muzzy is an OK head but there are better ones out there. I've used Muzzys for years and got deer with them. But no matter how well my bow was tuned I could never get them to hit the same POI as my field tips. They would always hit slightly right of my FTs. I am currently using Slick Trick Viper Tricks and with their steel ferrule are stronger than the Muzzy and fly perfectly. Also their blades are thicker than the Muzzy's. So all around they are a better BH both in flight and strength.
As for a heavier arrow if moving down to 100 gr head. No. You may have to do a little tweaking with your tuning and your sights but nothing major. And at the most you will only gain about 5 fps going from 125 to 100 gr.
