Default Is 100 grain enough

I will be shooting ac superslim 300's this year. 29''with 4'' quikspins and arrow wraps. Will 100 grains be heavy enough to stable these or will I need 125 grains.

As long as the FOC is fine with a 100 gr. set-up, you should be fine.

Only one way to find out for sure, but 100 should be good.

I say no....because I have the same arrow length and spine as you. I ran a manual FOC with your super slims and with a 100 grain tip it is right at 7% FOC. You are going to need a 125 grain tip to bring you within FOCrange (9-12%). If you don't care to be within the range (many don't) then keep the 100 grain tips.Keep in mind most FOC calculators don't equate for your type of broadhead style and length. Doing the test manually is the best method.

I look at 100 grain tips as the absolute minimum that may work, but I would never recommend them if you're shooting fixed blade broadheads. You also have plastic vanes and wraps which put weight at the backend - not helpful for flight. As long as your arrow is stiff enough, I'd add more weight up front.

Maybe the 115 grain muzzy 4 blade would do you right?
1 1/8" cut both ways= good specs IMHO.

I've never understood the rush to wrap an arrow and addrear weight to it. The painted on style adds less weight than a wrap, but isn't as durable.
