My Muzzy Phantom SS weighs 220 grains ;).
Bruce you got me beat, I just built some 200gr Magnus 2 blades! Sure do pack a wallop!
When I take the bleeder out of the Muzzy then it weighs 200 grains (and is 2 blade too)and I hunted with some of those too. I also have some arrows with a 100 grain brass insert and use a 125 grain broadhead on that for 225 grains. Of course those arrows only leave the bow doing a screaming 233fps LOL. No excessive speed there :D;)

I've shot 125's for over 20yrs ... BUT, I'm going to switch to 100gr this year just to be able to expand my broadhead options. You're right, not many companies are making 125's any more.

I still shoot aluminums and will continue to do so. I'm going to go with 3" vanes to help keep the FOC up with the 100gr heads. We'll see how it works out. Come October I might be back to 4" feathers and 125's!

I do need to fess up. I am making an arrow that uses 100 grain tips that I will be using on groundhogs and fox.

Are you talking about these http://www.3riversarchery.com/Product.asp?c=57&s=47&p=257&i=0255? I was thinking about trying some of the 50 grain inserts. Do they work well, arrow-flight wise?

Yes, those are what I use. I also have some of the 50grain inserts. What they do is increase your FOC and that can help your arrow, flight-wise but, with that said, if your bow and arrow are tuned and tuned together then you should have optimum flight regardless of the type of insert used. The increased FOC really helps the penetration, though, and that is my reason for using heavy inserts/broadheads/high FOC.

Shame on you Bruce!;)

I've never rifle hunted but I doubt a serious rifle hunter would use the same bullet for every game animal and/or area he encountered. I have arrows weighing from 326 grains to 500 grains, and FOC's running from 12.5% to over 20%. I try to pick my arrow depending on what I will hunt and where it will be hunted. I use a different arrow for open country Mule Deer in Oct. than I do Whitetail Bucks in the thicket in Nov. I wouldn't have to but I enjoy experimenting with different setups.

The one thing I do know is Light? Heavy? 12% FOC? 20% FOC? They all work!!;)

Something I have yet to play with is my 500 grain FMJ's with over 20% FOC coming out of my Airborne 82. Now that should pack a pretty good punch.

I was using 125 satellites, then switched to muzzy 3 blades in 125 grains.

LOL Yeah, it won't weigh that much either LOL. I'll be shooting it around 53#'s and I will be setup to take 55 yd shots (for the groundhogs) too [:-]. Actually I'll be getting hold of you soon about the strings and some 100 grain slick tricks ;).

Now that would be a blast!! 50 yard shots at groundhogs! That ought to sharpen the skills a little bit. I wish we were closer. We'd have to pair up for some of that Action!!
