Your over thinking things jr. IMO the broadhead is the most over thought over rated part of an archery set up, now I know all the arguments I know its the part doing the killing yada yada but hear me out. A one inch cut is a one inch cut whether its from a thunderhead or slick trick neither will make a bigger hole or cut more tissue shot from the same set up. Big expandables have their place and some love em and that's fine if your set up is good for them but I don't think yours is. I've shot every broadhead you can think of and swore I would never shoot anything but steel force for years because I believe they and silver flames are the sharpest heads you can get. That being said Ive been shooting thunderheads for ten years now and like them more than any for a couple reasons, they too are extremely sharp, change blades no sharpening, I find they break or bend way less than most heads of same category. I have a ferrel with five kills on it now and looking for more, not rabbits either, deer turkey pigs. What I'm saying I guess is we are not shooting T-Rex here, deer are thin skinned animals that don't require a lot killing, even hogs of the same weight are pretty easy to poke holes in. Now when you start getting into the 300 pound range you need to be more careful with shot selection, just get you some Thunderheads tune em up right and give em hell. They are fairly cheap and easy to find. Its not as big a deal as people make it out to be. Don't forget Indians were knocking down buffalo with pointy rocks long before Rage made the only broadhead any respectable archer would ever use.

What about the trocar?

The Thunderheads fly great for me. Think I'll order the replacement blades and use those even though they're 85gr!

I'll pound this again, just because your bow is not as fast as the new monster FPS bow it doesn't mean that you have to shoot lighter. Why do you think that guys that shoot Trad shoot 600+ gain arrows, KE! 14 Years ago the bows started shooting over 300 FPS we were all killing deer with those slower bows.
I've always preferred K.E. over speed. My Trad bows my arrows are over 650 gn, my compounds I shoot 643gn using 220gn Muzzy Phantoms with bleeder blades which gives me 21% FOC. That gives me bone breaking power, I've knocked deer down, and I don't have a monster speed demon bow. I don't know how fast they are, and I really don't care! I know that faster means flatter trajectory, and will compensate for poor distance judgment.. and we all know what that means.

Little brother you'd be fine shooting 100gn thunderheads if you like that broad head 15 more gn's is not going to make that much difference, just add a little more K.E. to your arrow.
