Better stability which leads to better arrow flight, more penetration, less wind drift, more momentium down range not to mention the arrow will absorb more of the bows power that would have been transfeered through the limbs into the riser causing vibration/hand shock andthe bow will bequiter.
I am sure I forgot a couple of things but I think you get the drift
If you don't mind me asking what's the advantage in adding that much weight?

RE: How this look?
Keep it up Rev between you and centaur I'm just cracking up![:@]You noticed I happened to have forgot the camera while you were roping my arrow? But I do have one incrimanting photo of you and Ausie! I was shooting at 60 yards when that faux pas happened...man those things carry along way! Hey Centaur if you find some Hello Kitty wraps I'd put them on...pink vanes,pink/purple string,Hello Kitty wraps...I'd have to pay someone to shoot with me!Here's what I was aiming at when the arrow to hard downward turn!

Here's the other two archers...doing better than I was doing...obviously,they didn't shank one as bad! Hold it The Rev did shank one now I think about it! The Rev is the older gent wearing the Guido jogging suit,the other charactor is arrow builder and advice giver 1st class Ausi Guy!

The weight out on the end is different than weight over full length! After the release and flight is attained think of it like a chain...easier to pull a chain than push it,maybe slower but the weight forward or any heavy projectile maintains speed better over distance than lite and fast!I deal with firearms more than bows and I learned this recently...same principle to both,thanks to Ausie I'm learning this!

Centaur.
If your using 100gr points now going to 125gr point you will probably not see a difference.
The arrows I made up for RowellIdesigned themfor the 100gr brass insert and 125gr headso the spine was perfect.
Plus I dare say your current arrows are alreadyon the weak side spine wise.
You wont see a big difference untill you get the FOC above 19%

RE: How this look?
I was wondering about the spine of my arrows. I don't have a scale so I don't know what poundage I'm actually pulling, I'm halfway backed out so I assume it's about 65#. The Gold Tip chart puts me right in the middle of the 400spine range. My arrows seem to wobble slightly when I shoot but they hit where I aim. I started fletching with four blazers and it seemed to straighten out the wobble.

Nice fletching color choice! Mine are the same except 2 white 1 pink. Fletched hard right helical. They shoot very well. My arrows weigh about 402 grains. And my bow should be spitting those you at about 270 fps.
