Radical Archery broad heads, a sponsor on here, are exceptional products with devastating results. I've used them for well over a decade and have never had to track an animal for more than 20-30 yards. My last blood trail on a blackie looked like the Manson murders. I use the 125gr Rival.

@RadSavI’ll look them up for sure I heard they were pretty good it’s nice to hear a second to that notion. Right on

If you want a heavier arrow set up with a normal weight broadhead, consider getting a heavy brass insert like was previously mentioned. I use a 125gr Magnus stinger with a 100 grain brass insert. All the magnus broadheads are great. They have a lifetime warranty and are designed well. I've seen one break a leg bone and continue to pass through.I have a 75 grain inserts that I’m running I’m sure the 25 grain would make a difference as far as having 100 grain insert - 75 grain. I wouldn’t think the broadhead would break.

Get ready for 1000 different responses. If you shoot them in the heart with a field point they die.That is absolutely correct.

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.

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

Weighted inserts can do a few things. Add overall arrow weight, weaken spine to help with arrow tuning if necessary and improve FOC or arrow flight.
The brass inserts will screw into the bottom of your normal aluminum insert and yeah theyll typically come in 25gr, 50gr and 75gr

My total weight of my hunting arrow is 462 grains with broadhead. My F.O.C is 9.5%. Setup flies well. Is 9.5% too light? Hunt elk only.to light to kill an elk? No. I really think the sweet spot for most of my set ups is about 12-16%. I shoot a lighter arrow shaft like an Eason sonic and shoot 50 grain brass insert with a 125 grain head.
