I am in agreement with Rob/PA, except I really like the quick spins for broad head stabilization.

I have shot aluminum arrows and for years and used 5" vanes with a serious helical; However, with the quick spin I can shoot a 4" plastic vane with a little helical and have the same point of impact and good grouping as the 5" vane.

I too like feathers; however, my experience in heavy rain with my aluminum arrows they drop about 3" at 20 yards even using the spray waterproofing and tend to get caught up in the brush.

But it is fun to try different set ups......
