Pastorjim--Like meanv2 said, fletching wont make a difference.Before I got ST's I had the same question/worry..The main reason I went with slick tricks is because I heard good things about them, gave them a try, and realized I didnt even have to re-tune my bow from fp's to heads. They fly just like my field tips, and I almost think they fly better or faster, but that may just be me. I think you will like them, no matter what you go with, but slick trick magnums are simple, durable, sharp, and do some damage for only cutting 1 1/8". The 2 does I took with them this year didnt go far, even the one I hit a little far back only went about 60 yards. Have fun with them!
