I am in the process of building my hunting arras for this fall. They are XX78 Super Slam, 2512's dipped white with orange cresting and black highlights. I know I am going to use 2 white and 1 orange...but....Here's the question......

4" shield cut feathers......or 4" vanes? I know the advantages and disadvantages of each, they will both stabilize my arrow equally as well....

Here's my thinking......I'm thinking feathers. I can use fletching tape instead of glue that will eat the lacquer, and they are a tad lighter.

So, which is it. 4" vanes or feathers? If you would like to say why, I'll entertain that as well.
