I've not tried them on game yet, but I bought a pack of the 180 gr. Silver Flames....they are impressive to say the least.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Any well known 125 and a 75 grain steel adapter.  Almost endless choices.

If price isn't an issue and you are sharpening challenged, the 180gr XL silver flames  are a super head. They work great on hogs and deer and I will be using them on caribou next month.

Simmons tiger shark 175 or land shark 165 (they always weigh a little heavy, like 170)

Silver Flames are super sweet, but I picked up the Werewolf's at the K-Zoo show and you can't find a finer 2 blade double bevel 175gr head...

If looking for a 4 blade/2 blade with bleeders, Steelforce can always make up about whatever you desire, if you just call them.

130 gr STOS w/ 42 gr aluminum adapter is an excellent option as well.  Once you glue them up they come in right at 175 gr

What's the big difference between Tigershark 175 and landshark 165 apart the weight?

180 grn Silver Flames,  I've found they ususually run a few grains lighter, so very close to your 175.
