Default RE: Why are there so few choices of arrows with fletching available?

I'm looking to get a new dozen or so arrows and all the catalogs I get only list one or two available with feathers.
Go to a good bow shop. They should have lots of arrow choices and they can put feathers on any of them. If you really want to control your broadhead flight, try the feathers with a helical twist. Feathers also have the advantage of being much lighter than vanes. This gives any given arrow set-up a higher FOC (good for broadheads), and gets the arrow traveling faster off the bow.

It's worth the little extra this costs. I see guys spending $1200 on their bow set-up and then balking at feathers because of few extra dollars. The arrow set-up is far more important than what bow you use to send it on it's way.
