Jeff, that makes sense. But again, wouldn't they be "better" because they disrupt more air? And, wouldn't that cause them to slow down more quickly? If that's the case, I can understand why they are better at short range. And, I can see why at around 40 yards the vane has "caught up" in regards to stabilization. And I certainly understand the weight difference causing a feather fletched arrow to leave the bow faster....But again, wouldn't it also slow down faster?

I don't want to seem like I'm arguing an authority on the subject (Norb) but that goes against what I would think....Not that what I think is right, but you know what I mean....
