Yes,you are correct Danny about the arrow and paradx, but the arrow needs to recover as quickly as possible(especially with broadheads) and with fingers,IMO,the feathers are best suited.They will force the arrow to straighten out quicker than a vane will,mainly because of their profile.


I learned here that alot of people use hairspray to keep their feathers from laying down in the rain and I have found it to work great.Just use unscented and apply it early and it works great.


I also heard Arthur mention that he thought feathers were loud when people put them on with staight clamps but with an offset.He said his feathers didn't seem to make the noise that everyone seemed to complain about so I decided to try and fletch some feathers with a helical clamp and they are dead quiet.Feathers do tend to start making noise over time,as they start missing some of the feather and as they start getting "soft",but more hairspray should fix the problem.



They are much quieter than AAE vanes or Duravanes that I have used or heard on the range.BUT,Flex Fletch has an extremely quiet vane.
