85 or 100 grains?
 

what do you guys use/reccomend? i use 100 right now but will 85 fly faster? is it worth switching? i am thinking about buying slicktricks and dont know what size to get. thanks for the help.

RE: 85 or 100 grains?
 

it will probably fly mildly faster, but wont have the force of impact and cutting diameter as a 100 grain.. bigger hole helps you out with a better blood trail. i reccomend 100

If you are hunting deer sized game stick to the 100 grain heads. You need to consult the easton archery kinetic energy chart. Theweight of the brodhead is only 1 of many factors that determine how your setup will perform on live game. Faster arrow speed and flatter trajectory are not always the best set up for hunting.

RE: 85 or 100 grains?
 

It'll be faster, of course, but will require changes in your setup to keep it in tune. The arrow will act stiffer with a lighter head.
You may be able to make corrections with a simple adjustment to your rest or draw weight, but it may mean new arrows if you are already using an arrow that is on the stiff side for your bow setup.

It will also mess with your FOC %. That's a whole other discussion.

Good luck.
If you have troubles, or want to get a better idea of what to expect before starting, spend some quality time over in the technical forum and give specifics when you ask.

The end of deer season is an excellent time to make changes.
That way, you're all good to go long before it comes up again.

I use 85 gr Wasp SS Hammers, fixed blades.1 3/16 cut. They fly great and makes the arrow act stiffer for better penetration.

i use 85 grain and really like them. If you are accourate with 100s then i would definalty not change them.

85 grain g5 and i absolutly love them!

RE: 85 or 100 grains?
 

To be honest, 15 grains just really don't make a hill of beans worth of difference....You'll gain MAYBE 3 fps, and yeah, the arrow will act stiffer, but w/ only 15 grains of weight difference, unless you are RIGHT on the line, it won't matter. If you are currently using 85's, don't switch, but if you aren't shooting anything yet, go w/ the 100 grain.

RE: 85 or 100 grains?
 

I shoot 125's and would shoot heavier if I thought it would get the job done, better. I've been taught to go HEAVY (in regards to arrow weight)! I don't have any speed issues with my setup.
