Well, since you partially apologized then, for my part, I partially accept. You just need some more study but, please, do so with an open mind. You'll find your 'cold hard facts' aren't quite so cold or hard. Kinda warm and mushy, really.

do you shoot mainly traditonal or compound?
Feathers do have their place especially with Recurves and long bows, they provide forgivness aginst the riser face and can even be shot off the shelf for some degree of accuracy and do stabelize very well up to about 25 to 30 yards (even Less with Traditonal equipment) past that they slow down too fast and so does the RPM's of the arrow which do not stabelize as good.
IMO high Preformance Bows needs to use High Preformance arrows.
I guess a good example would be like putting a stock street cam in a race engine [:-]
vanes are able to maintain their speed because there is less friction and wind resistance which in turn is able to maintain a higher RPM to stabelize the arrow.
I am 100% sure everything here I have stated is Fact Not fictionI guess everything revolves around personal preference, I preferr vanes
for the reasons I have stated above.
I can sit here and blow wind all day long but proof is in the pudding![8D]
