Default Which Fletching should I use on GOLDTIPS?

What would you guys reccommend?

I'll be shooting 64-65lbs,29"draw, 27" 5575 Goldtip XT Hunter.
I'll most likely be shooting a 100 or 125 grain fixed blade broadhead. Not sure what style yet, gonna try something new this year.. Been shooting muzzy's and Thunderheads.

3" Feathers? with wrap
4" Feathers? with wrap
2" Blazers?
3" Duravanes?
4" Duravanes?
4" Quickspins?

I was thinking i should shoot a plastic fletch and a 125 grain broadhead to help with arrow weight and FOC.. or feathers with a wrap...

but..... Opinions are more than welcome..

All great choices; although I am not a fan of quickspins. They wrinkled for me and got deformed. I use wraps on all my arrows for the custom look and to help see them impact onan animal.HCH

2 inch blazers with the wraps. I have a cool trick take the wraps and cut them in half. They will be half the size and will need only 6 to do a dozen arrows. Plus they look so much better like that than the full wrap.

I just ordered some 27" GT XT Hunters in realtree. I'm going to use plain white wraps, 3 white 2" Blazers, and white Bohning signature nocks.

I also cut my wraps in half, I still shoot 2 inch blazers but nodog sent me some 2 inch duravane predatorss and i like them a bit better. It might be just me but I believe that they bond to the wrap better than the blazers, ( Cant tell any differance in accuracy)
good luck

I really like the Blazers with the wraps. My new Full Metal Jackets have the chartruese zebra wraps and then two black and one chartruese blazer. They fly real nice and look real mean! My wife also shoots the blazers with wraps, with a WB, and they work real nice.
