Default Fletching Question???

I'm shooting Vapor 3000's out of a Mathews Feathermax at about 62lbs. Feathers, 3" Right Helical staggered fletching. Supposed to act like 4" but with slightly less drag.

I'm assuming either 3" or 4" non-staggered may increase accuracy slightly? But 4" may slow down slightly faster.

Immeasurable difference or what?

Default RE: Fletching Question???

I haven't played with staggered fletching very much. It seemed to make a bit of a splash several years ago, but you don't hear much about it any more. I rejected it simply because of appearance. It didn't look 'right' to me. Old dogs and new tricks, I guess. But it seemed to work okay. I didn't notice any speed difference between staggered 3" and conventional 4".
