That's a good question. I use a WB, but I shoot vanes. Someone will answer this eventually.

Feathers will work great through a WB. The WB will slowly wear(fray) the feathers and they will eventually need replacement - depending on how much you shoot. Blazers or a similar short, stiff vane will allow you to shoot indefinitely through the WB.

Feathers are and always will be the best fletch you can use especially so when shooting off the shelf or plowing through WB type rests.

I agree feathers Rule! I'm sure if you shoot feathers you will have some refletching that needs done from time to time, depending on how much you shoot.

Blazers are also a great choice for WB rests, because they are tough and will stand up well to the continual contact.
