100-Grain Broadheads Vs 125
Introduction:
Broadheads are the cutting blades at the front of an arrow that are responsible for inflicting the initial wound on an animal. The size, or grain weight, of a broadhead can range anywhere from 50 to 150 grains with the most common broadhead weights being 100, 125, and 150 grains. The weight of a broadhead will affect both the accuracy and the penetration power of an arrow.
In general, a 100-grain broadhead will be more accurate than a 125-grain broadhead because it is lighter and will therefore be less affected by wind. However, a 125-grain broadhead will penetrate deeper than a 100-grain broadhead because it is heavier and will therefore retain more energy upon impact.
The decision of which grain weight to use is ultimately up to the individual hunter and what they are looking for in terms of accuracy and penetration. Some hunters may prefer the lighter 100-grain broadhead for its accuracy, while others may prefer the heavier 125-grain broadhead for its penetration power. Ultimately, it is up to the hunter to decide which grain weight is best for their needs.
Differences Between: 100-grain broadheads vs 125
1. 100-grain broadheads are lighter than 125-grain broadheads.
2. 100-grain broadheads have a smaller cutting diameter than 125-grain broadheads.
3. 100-grain broadheads travel faster than 125-grain broadheads.
4. 100-grain broadheads are less likely to cause penetration problems than 125-grain broadheads.
5. 100-grain broadheads are less likely to get stuck in bone than 125-grain broadheads.
6. 100-grain broadheads are less likely to cause tracking problems than 125-grain broadheads.
7. 100-grain broadheads have a shorter overall length than 125-grain broadheads.
Everything About 100-grain broadheads
100-grain broadheads:
PROS:
-Lighter and easier to shoot than 125-grain broadheads
-Fly faster and are therefore more accurate
– penetrate deeper
CONS:
-May not have enough kinetic energy to take down large game animals
– Can be more difficult to find in stores
125-grain broadheads:
PROS:
-Heavier and therefore pack more kinetic energy
-More likely to take down large game animals
CONS:
-More difficult to shoot accurately
-Slower and less aerodynamic than 100-grain broadheads
-Can be difficult to find in stores
