Mostly Feathers for me. Gotta love the look of shield cut feathers But I do sometimes shoot some arrows done up with Blazer vanes. But mostly im a feather shooter.

I prefer 4" feathers over 4" vanes... but currently shoot Blazers... which are vanes, so I had to vote vanes

Vanes..had it years ago with damaged and wet feathers. I have shot several bucks with vanes and I would not have killed any them any "Deader" or harvest any more bucks by shooting feathers, so why put up with the hassle....
