I'll give that an Amen. The Lord designed a feather to stabilize a 20# turkey in flight.... I think it can handle a 125gr broadhead.

That said though, even though a feather might do the best job of stabilization over all.... that doesn't necessarily mean its the perfect fletch for everyone.

"Blazers" proper, I've been using and fletching extensively for the last couple of years... this year, I've discovered NAP twisters... and I frankly like them a whole heck of a lot better. I think their quality control is better. I don't think I've ever bought a pack of blazers that was exactly the same, if I was say buying them over a 4 month period. Some have primer, some are harder, some softer, some have that little ditch in the bottom now... most of them are not cut off squarely in the front....

When a fix, such as a taller, stiffer, fletch, becomes a problem, such as creating contact, then it certainly isn't a solution anymore. I think its barking up the right tree... lighter, tougher, taller.... but like with everything else there is a law of diminsihing returns.

I'd shoot feathers still myself if they weren't so dang expensive. The noise in flight is probably the next biggest concern, followed by durability.
