been "studying" foc and was wondering what the preferred head weight to be.

For those that shoot wooden arrows is there a better choice over another?

125

150

Don't really have a preferred weight. Depends on the overall arrow weight I'm shooting for. My points range from 125 to about 175 on wood shafts. On carbons, I like 250-300 plus grains up front comprised of point, adaptor and insert.

On aluminum and carbons, I like between 145-165 grains give or take a little.

125 - 175 grains depending on arrows and bow I’m using.

That would depend on what arrow you want to shoot.

125 to 225

Flying straight trumps any FOC.

Besides penetration is over rated, unless you don't have it. What I mean by that is it doesn't take a lot of energy to put two holes in a whitetail sized animal.

Dependent on arrow set up, I shoot between 155 and 185. I've gone back to shooting strictly wood and these weights get me to the total desired arrow weights I shoot for.

Happy hunting, Jason

Went back to 160 on woodies. Seem to give me steadier flight and better penetration than the 125s.

What ever wt makes my arrows fly straight.

175-200gr

125/160, whatever achieves the best arrow flight in that range.

I like between 250-300. Seems that I just prefer slow, heavy arrows.

Same as grizz

If shooting carbons, you have to look at the total weight of the brass insert AND the field point/broadhead. On carbons if you don't know what the weight of the insert is, the weight of the broadhead can be/is misleading that is being used. Aluminum inserts whether for carbon or aluminum I count as zero because you have to have something to screw your field point/broadhead into. My aluminum shafts 175gr or 225gr points depending on what bow and arrow combination I am shooting. On my woods 125gr. DANNY

What Bowmania said.

My broadhead with adapters are 145-150 grain and a 75 grain insert on my carbons.

Of course it depends on what arrow spine I'm wanting to shoot, but in a perfect world I'd prefer a 125 grain broadhead.

125.

250

I like to shoot carbon arrows and I want my arrows to hit a certain minimum weight so I use heads from 175 to 300 grains depending on what insert I've got in there.

I usually have a high FOC but they tune real easy and fly great with small fletch so I'm good with that.

Carbons- 150 or 200, + 100gr. insert.

Carbons- 150 or 200, + 100gr. insert.

I don't have a "preferred" weight. I adjust weight to get better flight. I have used 110 Bear Razorhead, 125 Zwickey, 125-160 Ace Standard and 200GR Ace Super Express on a 2419 for a 70 pound bow. I like "bigger" 2 blades though so bigger equals heavier. Whatever suits the setup I am shooting then. I don't do "EFOC".

Never shot a head over 170 grains so I guess I would say 170 or less. I use either aluminum, wood or fiberglass and can make a head as heavy as I need it. You can even add some lead shot to a glue on to make it heavier for a wood arrow if necessary. I haven't used carbon much but I do know lots of guys like to weigh them down on the tip. Different strokes for different folks.

I use 125 grain Eskilites on 45-50# setups and 145 grain Eskimos on 55-60#. I only shoot aluminium arrows.

I also don't buy into EFOC and lawn dart gpp setups.

125, I have several hundred 125 field points so I use that weight

Whatever flys the best on a given arrow off a given bow I’ve never used less then 125grn and never more then 200grn I’ve used many brands and types of broadhead but thru the years have settled on Howard Hills mostly 160grn and Zwickey Eskimos as a second and Bear greenies for small game

I like to shoot light gpi carbons so I can use all the weight in the point. That being said I don't like my arrows over 11 gpp. I have used everything. From 300 to 150 grain points. I will say you can make about any broadhead weight 250 grains by using the right adaptor, if you go heavier than that thinks are more tricky.

I don't like to use 125 grain points for screw in heads because there are not many options. For woodies 125 is just fine

I have 3 bows set up for hunting. I use 125, 145, and 175. Just what they each shoot the best.

125-145.

200 grains. Accommodates a lot of Broadheads.

130 That is what a Delta weighs Terry

160-190 grains on my wood arrows. There are a lot of good 125-135 grain heads but I've never gotten them to fly quite as accurately as the heavier heads.
