Feathers:
2. Rain + feathers = disaster. Yes you can treat the feather but you can't sit out all day in the rain like you could with vanes. There is nothing on the market that can make a feather 100% impervious. (other than dipping them in plastic!)
That is just not true. I suppose it could be true if your bow and arrow were not tuned correctly but if your setup is tuned then shooting wet feathers is not a problem.
A member here actually did a test to disprove this myth. It makes for interesting reading.
