As most are saying, it is totally personal preferance. I suggest that you fletch two arrows (maybe evenfour) one (or two)with your feather of choice, and one(or two)with your vane of choice. shoot these arrows in all conditions, and see which you like better. People's opinions are valuable, but for this type of subject it is all up to you. You need to be confident in what you shoot. just my ideas, take them or leave them. Thanks, KP

-oh and for the record-i started with feathers, but have been shooting vanes for 4 years with no intentof going back to feathers.
