My typical arrow build for the last couple years is RIP TKO, 75 gr insert, 100 grain broadhead. Is there any difference at all to switching it up to a 50 gr insert, 125 grain broadhead? I’m currently shooting 470 total grains, 14ish% FOC, 30” DL. I know total weight ends up being the same, and I’m happy with speed/performance. Does it move FOC forward at all? Am I just overthinking this? Is there no difference at all?

You'll never notice the difference. I shoot interchangeably 50 grain with 125's and 75 grain with 100's for 5 years.

I have used a similar setup weight-wise in the past. The new arrows I plan to build will be 100 gr BH, with inserts and collars equal to 125. In the past, I did not use collars, just BH and brass inserts. I am going back to Axis arrows.

I do not think the change will be noticeable for hunting arrows, especially with fixed-blade BH.
