RE: feathers or vanes
I prefer feathers as well. I actually think they're MORE durable than vains in some regards. You can steam the shape back into them. Vains will go "off" with relatively little damage I.E. a little tear or nick and the game is over with that one wheras I've shot feathers with major chunks taken out(just to see how it flies) and it's bulls all the way. An added bonus is I gained 4fps?? I haven't changed anything else, but haven't shot the vains side by side either. Can they make that much of a difference?
