I was shooting today, and once of again having a crapload of fletching contact. Eventually one of my fletchings ripped off. I was so torqued off about it that I decided to just fire it too. So I took out my knife and cut loose the remaining vane and cleaned the shaft up good. I shot it, and it shot truer than the rest of my arrows

Finally I cut the cock vane off three arrows, and shot them, and shot excellant groups the rest of the night. I shot the cock vane (which was missing) down, so I had NO contact issues, and I couldn't believe how I ended up shooting. It was borderline unbelievable that the arrows shot so well with only two vanes. It was really windy here today, maybe up to 30 MPH at times, and we shot out to 60 yards, and they flew true in the wind with only two vanes and hit spot on.

So why couldn't I cut the cock vane off all my arrows and shoot them? Looks like I could to me, if they do this good in the wind (I mostly do 3-d, I wouldn't begin to attemt this with a broadhead).

Just looking for thoughts/opinions. Thanks
