tc2506 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 just wondering you guys opinions on what weight heads to use for whiteails, its for my boys new mathews mustang its 40lb draw weight 24inch draw length and using 22inch goldtip35/55s, local pro shop said 100grains, he has been shooting the 100grs out to 20yds this week and it shoots great, but that just seems like to much weight to me, any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertech_hound819 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Re: what weight heads i used to shoot 125 thunder heads out of a pse nova at 50 punds and 25 inch and killed a doe at 30 yards. so i guess it would be what shoots the best out of that bow try a bunch of them and see what works best for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Re: what weight heads Personally, I would recomend lighter. There will be some debate I know, but I think 85 grain Montec or Sonic would be the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outdoor_adventurer Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Re: what weight heads i would try 85's as 257bob said...i like that choice...i personally have a martian jaguar bow with a 58 lbs pull and a 28 inch draw length... i use 100 grain broadheads and field tips. i can honestly say i have never killed a deer with them but i've never shot at one either...i have 100 grain G5 tekan 2's. my shop pro uses them and he suggested i would like them too... good luck on your choice...

JimPic Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: what weight heads I'd go with the heavier head. Low poundage,short draw and a short arrow--I'd want a heavier shaft for the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: what weight heads Your Front of Center balance should be almost exactly where you want it with 100gr heads. Unless your shooting feathers then I would back down to the 85gr head. IMO 125's will be way too nose heavy on that little arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: what weight heads On a 40 lb. bow keep that arrow as heavy as possible. If they are flying good now and there isn't any spine issues or FOC issues with the 100 grain head then keep shooting them. If by some chance 125's still left him properly spined, then go with the 125's because not only will it boost the weight giving him added penetration, but it will also boost his FOC. In my opinion switching to anything lighter than he is at right now is only asking for trouble in the event he hits bone. His set up will be alot more effective using a heavy arrow as opposed to backing down weight and trying to gain speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitteken Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: what weight heads I'd stay with the 100's. Momentum and Kinetic energy is more important than speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
