Default RE: Wanting to try feathers

I saw them before, but I completely forgot about those Trophy Ridges. That is one heavy arrow. I actually like that. Not only are those arrows the most consistent available, but they are so heavy that I could probably get a pass through on an African elephant. That would be sweet! I'll probably go with a 125 tip, unless you guys think I should go heavier. I want to use the Grim Reaper RazorTip 1 3/4" diameter, which is available in either 100 grain or 125 grain. For this reason, if I need a heavier tip, I'd like to use a heavier insert to get my FOC up instead. By the way, what is a good FOC?

What do you think I should use for fletchings? Are my 4" shields still going to be effective on this heavier arrow? I think we are talking easily over 500 grains. Not the heavier arrow I have ever shot, but easily the heaviest my 82nd has seen.

Let me know.
