I don't have a problem with them as long as they are not used during archery season.

i wouldnt go with either a 100 of 125 grain i would go with like a 85 grain broadhead. i mean 210 fps is enough to kill a deer but IMO its cutting it close so i would go with a 85 grain and would maybe get some more fps.



and as for the crossbow comment.....................agreed[8D]

An 85 grain would be a good choice also, but we cannot give you any more advice without knowing your setup.

The past 2 years I have been shooting 100 grains but I'm thinking about switching to 125 before this year. You can get wider cutting broadheads and for the most part they seem a little easier to find than the 100's. The 100's will kill a deer just as good as a 125 so it's your personal preferance.

first off we have to see how much his arrow weighs because that little 25 grains could make all the difference IMO. and as for 125 grains making a bigger cutting thats not true 100 grains make jus as big a cutting diameter as 125's but 125's pack a little more punch thats all.

By switching to 125 grains you could throw off your spine. You will get a weaker spine, which could be bad if you are underspined. A 100 will kill a deer just as good as a 125, but if that 125 would throw off your spine, it may not.

Well u know what, there are no gun seasons where i am and im not using a compound, x-bows are more accurate for hunting and for target shooting
