What I meant to say was feather fletching.
I realize that feathers and vanes are two different creatures :-)
I am considering some aluminum arrows with feather "fletching".
The reason for this is I have a short draw and to get the right front of center balance, I really either need lighter fletching or heavier heads, which I don't want.
I've had a dozen ACCs that have lasted for several years but are almost gone, using just a couple a year on deer, but they have gotten too expensive.
I really want to go with aluminums over carbon.
