Default Ultimate Big Game Shaft

Need some help here guys, I am setting up my new bow for hunting elk and moose ( if I am fortunate to pull a moose tag) and am trying to find the ultimate shaft. I have a 27" draw with my peak weight of 64#' s with a 65% let-off and according to the easton arrow chart, if I understand it correctly that a 2018 is probaly good within this perameter, but I was wondering if I should up it to a heavier arrow, in that being a 2117 or ?.
I am not intrested in shooting dime size groups at targets ( though I strieve for it), even though I do shoot at least 4 - 5 time a week, but I am strictly a bow hunter and want to put the arrow in the bread basket. I shoot fingers useing a 125 grain thunder head for hunting. Also while I have your attention, what do you think the pro' s and con' s are in me shooting 4" fletchings as opposed to 5" ' s in a ultimate Big Game Shaft? I fletch my own shafts so I guess I can experment but was wondering what your personal experience is between the two. I have been bowhunting since 69' and know more about hunting than I do about the mechanics of archery. My question is if you were me, what would be the ultimate shaft with my set up? Thanks for your time and help guys, Bobby
