Broadhead weight

250 grain cutthroat with a 50 grain insert. Trad bow, falls like a rock out of the compound 😂

Guess my heads been in the sand. Whats with weighted brass inserts? Always just purchased arrows and inserts to fit. So I’m assuming that they come in different weights and are used to gain arrow weight without the added cost of purchasing heavier broadheads?

same w me, no clue what my inserts weigh?  I shoot 100 grn shuttle T’s and they are devastating, huge hole. 

blackveltbowhunter:
Generally weighted inserts are used to add more overall weight to the arrow and specifically
to increase the weight in the arrow tip or front and find a sweet spot for arrow flight.

Depending on the arrow makes and models insert weight vary, but for most standard diameter aluminum inserts weigh around 20ish grains.

I mostly use 125 currently, but 100s have killed me lots of critters that don't know the difference

MIKEXRAY:
I shoot the G5 Stryker V2 in 125 gr and would never change. Fly true and have held together perfectly after shooting animals. I've had great results , as stated lots of right answers just find what works best for ur setup. Good luck.
