after shooting about 1000 shots of feathers this week im almost considering having half my arrows fletched with vanes....probably blazers just because they are comparable weight to feathers and should maybe possibly have the same POI but probably not lol......i actually wont change....i love the looks of feathers and i can tell they are forgiving. i just gota learn to keep them in good condition. i ripped one off at the base on a pass through on a bag when i hit a hole i wore into it...another i got bit by a horse fly as i released and threw the arrow into my hay bale backstop. good to see the backstop worked but i need to steam all my arrows. maybe tomarrow ill steam them since i wont be shooting. my shoulder is killing me and cracking wierdly. i do love the forgiveness feathers give. just gota learn to keep them in shape......i noticed when they get a little seperated that they DO indeed make a noise. today was the first time i heard it. probably louder then it is because of the fence, but i know its because my feathers are kinda seperating..just need steamed....nothing beats the looks of feathers
