Would it matter on the weight of the broad head for the impact on the animal beside shot placement ?

More weight up front helps penetration. 125gr broadheads are easy to find, not special. If you want more weight up front, like I said, you can use a brass insert, they come in different weights. With that said, my Predator shoots 2016's with that weight head really well. But the bow will shoot 2018's and 2020's (if you can find them.) It also shoots cedars well, and carbon arrows. Aluminums are cheap for starting practice. I run 5" feathers on all arrow sizes. And also like previously noted, any good cut on contact head will work with lower draw weights. I've used Steel Force for years with good success, even out of a compound. There are also many good cut on contact replaceable blade heads if you don't want to try to sharpen your own. G5 makes one, NAP, etc. There's a bunch. I think going the moderate route weight wise is a good choice. Anywhere in the 8 to 9gr per inch range. The bow will shoot quieter and you will achieve adequate penetration. Just attempt to shoot at non alert deer unless they are less than 10yds.

Thank you for explain better for me to understand and you help to what I was thinking about more weight on the broadheads.
