100 gr. Vs. 125 gr. Broadheads?
I just sold my Ten Point GT-Curve and bought a Horton Vision 175. I used the 125 gr. Muzzy with the GT-Curve and had no problems with them. Nailed three deer last season.
However, Horton seems to be pushing a 100 gr. broad head for their arrows. I still have the 125 gr. Muzzy's and hate to have to spend more money for new 100 gr. broad heads.
So my question is can I still use the 125 gr. broad heads? Oh yeah, I have the carbon Horton arrows.

I have only 5 seasons of cross bow experience .... deer and feral hogs. I archery hunted for 40+ years before an injury headed me in the cross bow direction. I used 125 gr. broad heads with my archery gear for probably 25 of those years, so I started there with my first cross bow. And still use a 125 gr. head. I use 125 gr., 3-blade (fixed) Montec's with my cross bow, and have had absolutely no issues as far as planing, grouping, effective distance or clean kills. Most of my shots have been under 25 yards, with a longest shot taken out to about 45 yards.
I see no reason for you to switch from what has been working. I would expect 100 gr. to maybe result in a tad more bolt velocity out of the shoot, but I am not convinced that there is a "must go to" advantage over a quality 125 gr. broad head when it comes right down to it.
