RE: Feathers vs. vanes
I first had feathers and liked them fine. My broadhead flight was accurate and I was ready to hunt. Then I got caught in the rain and my feathers got soaked and then matted together.
So I switched to vanes but when I put a broadhead on, my arrows planed big time.
Went back to feathers and just put some of the stay-dry powder on em and I wont shoot anything but feathers from now on. From all I've read, they're more forgiving and the speed is neglible from what I understand.
