I shoot easton epic and axis 500's out of my bows and they fly great with a 125gr point. I shot the Heritage shafts before i went to these but switched because the heritage 150's are 10 grains per inch and i like a lighter arrow than that. The Heritage 150's should fly fine with a 125gr point with weight you are shooting. Like a couple others said the only reason they might not is because of the amount of centershot on the whip. But that could be fixed with a lil adjustment in point weight. Let us know how they shoot for ya out of the whip.

What works for some, may simply not work for others....

That's just the way it is with about any arrow....to many variables to say something 'won't' work without trying it out for yourself.

"weighted up Toelke's way"
Can you explain this a little more?

I had some carbons made by Dan once.  He used Ballistic powder (for reloading shotgun shells) to weight the arrows.  I assume this is what is being referred to.

OK I got my Whip today--Not much serious tuning going on cause really windy outside.My CE 150's fly good but I have some Goldtips with 100 inserts plus 125 points seem to fly a little better,more time to try tomorrow.One question,my Widow is alot heavier than my Whip and I'm thinking that a strap on quiver might add some weight and be a little more stable for me.What is a good strap on quiver that would work on the Whip and not add any noise.--Thanx

There are several good quivers out there depending on how many arrows you want to carry. Myself, I prefer the thunderhorn's.

I recently received a Whip from Dan, 54@28 and I draw about 27 and a half.  So far have had really good luck with Gold Tip 5575 cut to 29" with about 250 grains of point weight.  

Mine also seems to really like Easton 2016s at 29" with a 125 grain point, but I like the weight of the tip weighted gold tips a little better.

I like the looks of the Thunderhorn quiver, but for me, nothing beats the great northern strap quiver.  I use it on all my longbows.  If only I could get a mounting system like the great northern with the looks of a thunderhorn small fry.
