Default Fixed blade head @ 290?

Can it be done or am I asking for trouble?

Shooting an 03 pat Dually @ 61 1/4 lbs @ 29"
268-270 grain PSE comp pro with 100 gr tip=368-70
Peep and a loop

Rather shoot fixed blade and I haven't put anything on the string as far as quieting it down.

I usually hunt with a heavier arrow but if I can keep these and get a fixed to fly...well why not.

Anyone tell me how much wind shear I'll get? Thinking montec, muzzy or steelforce...not sure about the steelforce. Long head may give me some FOC issues, but I haven't tested them yet.

The options are...
Shoot a mechanical...never tried and heard some horror stories but I think I know what shots to take adn which ones to shy away from. I'd like to leave the shot options open for obvious reasons.

Go back to the heavier arrow. A bonus is the reduction in noise and increased efficiency, but I'll have to buy new ones and I'm cheap
