I think I might end up going with either winners choice or vapor trail as you suggested in an earlier post. Nothing agains gibblet. It is just that the turn around time he gave me would be 3 weeks. and opener here is august 31st....and the local shop that I haven't dealt with yet carries vapor trail I believe. I am pretty sure it is vapor trail. hope I haven't been making up a name.

The 100 gr heads, and lighter, seem to be the rage anymore. I've had people tell me to drop to a 100 gr head. Why, I get a little higher FOC and my arrow is still carrying the mail out of my Allegiance.

Josh shot some of my tips and has decided to go to 125 gr tips also.

The hard part is finding a BH that you like at that weight without having to use a 100 gr with a weight to it. Muzzy does not make 125 gr MX series. [:@]


However, you have some good choices.
slicktricks
Wac'em Triton XL
NAP Crossfire
etc.
If you can’t find he head you want in 125 gr, you can try using heavier inserts. Go to Lancaster archery and look at the brass inserts for carbons. I think you can get them in 50 & 100 gr. That way you can use the head you want and get the weight you want too.

ArrowMike,

If you read my post I say that you can do that. However, I'd rather not add another component in between my head an shaft. Also, why not just make the 125 gr BH's. You can get 25 gr weights from GT.
