In this video we are discussing broadhead weight. There has been a large buzz in the industry lately over Front of Center (FOC) and momentum. Which is a good thing. But, there are some things to consider when shooting heavier broadheads.
The first thing to consider is your arrow spine. There is some lacking education in the industry on arrow spine. Just think of the spine of the arrow being the stiffness of that arrow. So the basics are, the lower the number, the stiffer the arrow. Arrow spine is important because if you are either too light, or too stiff you will see decreased accuracy. Not only that, you could blow up your arrows and cause serious injury. So check out your arrow companies' websites and study their arrow spine charts.
The next thing to consider is what game you are pursuing. For small game or light skinned animals, you can use a lighter broadhead with no issues. Especially with the correct arrow spine and weight. For big game animals and animals with thick hides, you will want a heavier broadhead to maximize your penetration.
With the big push on Front of Center, please due your due diligence and make sure you have the correct arrow spine to shoot these heavy broadheads.
