Broadhead's 101
Well i need some info on broadheads as I am a newby. My first question is 100 gr. or 125 grain? I will be deer and elk hunting, don't know how the two are different other than weight. Also i noticed today at the store many broadheads come in pieces and you assemble them manually, but there are also some already assempled (G5's). Are they hard to put together? Also, should you buy broadheads with replacements or ones you can sharpen on a stone? Lastly, any suggestions? Thanks for my broadhead 101 lesson!

You will also find some good broadhead testing information here:

The 100g broadhead is the most popular. Some broadheads are not available in 125g. Choosing a broadhead is a very personal choice. I think that just about every broadhead on the market today will do the job if it is put in the right place.

If you can resharpen your own heads, you'll save a buttload of money in the longrun.
