Currently I shoot a gold tip 3555 with a 100 grain brass insert and a 125 grain Broadhead. Do you fellows think that switching to a 50 grain insert and a 175 grain Broadhead would yield any issues with tuning? Obviously it's the same weight up front. Wanna go to a leaner 3 blade but afraid to fix what isn't broken.
If my setup is well tuned I have not seen a difference.
I can't imagine how that that would make any difference.

I shoot the same set up and have done exactly what you are talking about. No difference in tuning!
I have done the same and haven't noticed a difference but I'm no tuning guru lol
...you shooting those VPAs?
I am. I tried them on a new arrow, but never could get used to the sight picture. I'm used to a short arrow and these were full length. So, I'm going back to my GT's, but want to keep shooting the VPA's. VPA has been great about customer service, so I'm sure they'll let me exchange the 200's I've got right now.
I've occassionally had the 100 grain insert act stiff, but going to the 50 and heavier point shouldn't be a problem.

You will be good either way!

The length difference of the 100 and 50 gr inserts has about a 3lb dynamic spine difference.

this is why is foot my arrows with a piece of alloy shaft that is longer than the longest insert used. you can then use whatever insert/point combo you like without changing the length of the flexible portion of the shaft.
