I have been using 100gn tuskers but had trouble getting them grouping. When I was checking a few things out and I wieghed one of the broadheads and it was 150gn. I don't know how they can sell them as 100gn heads when they are not even close to that! I think I need something around the 100-125gn can anyone tell me if the outback hunters are actually 125gn total wieght?

mate no broadhead is perfect but woodys arnt far off they might be 4-5gr out at the max but i doobt it would make mutch difference and the 100gr tusker i think it might actually be a 150 or a bad 125 no way they could go that far out of range :roll:

just weighed a few more they are all over 110gn and the adapters are 34gn. I'm not sure but maybe they call them 100gn without the adapter. If someone was working out what shaft to use and had no scales, so they just go off the weight they say they are they could end up with a shaft with the wrong spine. Does anyone know if the weight of the head is without the adapter?

Mate the adaptors are not in the weight quoted cause some people might be gluing them on a wood shaft so there would not be a adaptor.
Remember also that when you sharpen a b/head you can take off 5 grains which adds up after a couple of sharpenings.
