Does having a higher FOC balance point mean better broadhead flight? I switched to a 125 grain broadhead on the end of Goldtip XT Camo Hunters this season to raise my FOC. I don't know that I can tell much difference from the 100 grain heads. What is the benefit of a heavier head? Am I too worried about this to matter much?! I hunt mostly whitetail and turkey but will get an antelope hunt in next year. Thanks for any help on this, let me know what you guys shoot and what you think about my set-up.

Even though a bow may be in tune, to much weight on the arrow aft end may cause it to fly erratic. This may be caused by the, tail wagging the dog effect.

You will not find heavy protest of to much weight forward because the arrow still flies true in most cases.

Unless, long range trajectory is your dilemma.
To much weight forward cuts the trajectory. Some arrowheads & broadheads have collars that can be used for adjusting weight & you can always change the arrow’s equipment.(nocks, arrowhead, inserts, fletching, & size of the arrow.)

One may want to start with about 60% of the weight forward of centerline of the arrow and you will find other suggestions on other post here.

To check down range trajectory one would be shooting 30-60+ yds.
In hunting you would want the best trajectory to help with distance guesstamations.

& with the Antelope you may want the best you can get.

the heavier in the front the harder it is to stabelize the arrow in flight
it is much easier to tune a light broad head with a 1" cutting diamiter compaired to a heavier head with a large cutting Diamiter.
