Within 25 yds you probably will not see much difference in your arrow flight. Personally, I would opt for the heavier head provided you are getting good arrow flight.
What type of bow are you shooting? Are you using carbons? if you are using carbons you can really load the front up without a problem.
As an example, I’m shooting a 60″ 53@28 Griffin LB. I pull around 28.5. My arrows are CX Terminator Select 45/60 that are cut to 29-3/8, which gives me an arrow that is 29-7/8″ from nock groove to the top of the brass insert. I’m using:
160 gr point
125 gr steel adapter
100 gr brass insert
3-5.25″ Shield Cut feathers
Arrow weight is 678 gr
EFoC is 28%
12.5 GPP
With this arrow set-up, I can drop the point weight from 285 gr (678 gr arrow) to 235 gr (628 gr arrow 26% EFOC, 11.6 GPP) or way down with a 187 gr head (580 gr arrow and around 23-24% EFOC, 10.6 GPP)
The CX Term Selects have a deflection of .397.
Even though I can drop point weight arrow flight is still great, I just get a flatter shooting arrow and have to adjust for the up-down. However, I still maintain a heavy arrow set-up for this bow.
