Stabilization isn't your only concern on a hunting arrow. You also want something that is forgiving if it nicks a twig on the way to the animal. Nothing comes close to feathers in this area. They fold out of the way, while a vane bounces off.
That goes for rests , risors ,cabels , and sights allso , basicly anything your fletching might or will hit , feathers are way more forgiveing . Those of you shooting prong rests with vanes try shooting your arrow with the cock vane in the opposite position , see what happens , whith feathers the effect would be minimal to nill .
HELLO!
the variables are endless and mind boggling
that is what is so great about archery
you can use the set up you like no matter how much your buddys think you ought to use the same setup as they do
If you like speed anddeminished down range trajectorygo with light stiff arrows short fletching and 1" cut dia Heads
if you like to lob them in go with what the crusty ol geezers tell you what to use
Just kidding LOL
