Fletch contact is obviously a bad thing but in the case of the WB, it's equal on all fletch so it does not affect arrow flight unlike say if one fletch catches a prong on a shoot through.

I would "assume" that with the Hostage Pro, one wouldn't clamp down on the arrow but leave room for a fluent passthrough like the WB. The WB doesn't clamp down on the arrow nor would I set a Hostage Pro to clamp down on an arrow.

I would also, "assume" that if you do have fletch contact depending on fletch and size of the shaft with the Hostage Pro, it would also be equal on all 3 fletch. Time will tell when the start shipping. I'm anxious to play with one. I'll be shooting Blazers with a hard offset. I know I don't get fletch contact with the original Hostage but again, it's a big hole for my Blazers.
