I use blazers and a bisquit. I get absoluitely no fletching damage at all with that combo. What I did do was switch arrows to smoother finish ones like Beman BlackMax for hunting. I think the finish on the Axis is the same. Totally silent on draw back and the simplest foolproof rest around for hunting. If you could teach yourself to shoot hanging upside down from a tree then the bisquit would do it no problem.
