A lot more than the weight of the Broadhead goes into the making of a great hunting arrow. Spine, FOC, weight, etc., etc.Post up all your info and we can give you a better answer. My arrow broadhead combo is the last place I'm looking to save money.

My outlook on it is that a speeding freight train is pretty hard to stop! I'm going with the heaviest tuned arrow/broadhead combo that I can shoot properly from my well tuned bow, tipped with the sharpest head possible and properly placed in the vitals of the game I'm hunting to kill!! JMO! Good luck and have fun while doing it!!!!!!!!!!

If you are shooting a Ridgeline 60# bow at a normal draw length, you really want 400 series arrows - not 340's. Unless you want to leave the 340's really long. And aheavier broadhead will allow you to shoot a shorter arrow and still be spined properly. But most people are shooting 100 grain heads. Like more than every other weight put together. And there are more 100 grains heads available than all others. So you might think about building an arrow that is about right for a 100 grain head.Although many will argue that the 125 head is the one due to the higher FOC.

Out of my 61# Reflex Growler, the Easton Axis 400 arrow spines out just perfect when cut to 29" and using a 100 grain head. With a 125 grain head, the ideal length is 28". As other have advised, don't shoot cheap arrows.
