    25 grains won't make a ton of difference, but when in doubt, use a little more weight on your arrow tip. So I'll go with the 125.

    I've broken the strings several times with this raven. I was thinking a heaver broadhead would help take some shock out of the system.

    I shoot 150 grain broadheads on the crossbow that I have for my wife and kids. Crossbows shoot so fast that you are not losing anything with a heavier broadhead up front.

    I like adding weight to the head cause it usually means thicker and more durable metal.
