i would go with feathers 4in.you can go with some like duravanes.but make sure you have good clearance on your rest.vanes are not very forgiving if they toucha ny part of the rest when they fly through.

Depends on what broadhead you are shooting, but 4" feathers are a great place to start. If you are using a large diameter fixed blade, you may want to go with 5".

I shoot finger style and like 4" feathers. Feathers will correct a poor release faster than vanes. If you are a release shooter, I would recommend 4" or even 3 1/2" if you are smooth with the release. Feathers and vanes do two things: correct a bad release and rotate the arrow for a more stable flight. The larger fletching will increase drag and rotation.

Four inch feathers here as well. Feathers control an arrow soooooo much better than a vane will.

In most instances a vane will work adequately however a feather fletched arrow will always provide more control than vanes will when fletched the same way.

even in a biscuit?????????

A buscuit will tear up feathers faster. Try a little dab of gule on the tip of the feather, but I would go with vanes.

I would go with a bright neon orange and white cresting with flo orange vanes, they show up great in video, and will last you longer than feathers...
