I like the looks of the shield but use parabolic instead. I think they're quieter.

I do have one single arrow with the little rayzr feathers on them and it's amazing how well those dink feathers work. Resilient too. They've gone through green corn stalks twice and spring right back up. The only thing is that they have a greenish tint now, they were white. (sometimes the cornfield jumps out and blocks my small 40 yard target. That's my story and I'm sticking to it)

I'll probably stick with four or five inch parabolic feathers for awhile tho'. (because I have a couple hundred still hanging around)
