Whats your fletching?
 
I am looking into getting new arrows for the season and am wondering what fletching to put on them. They will be used primarily for hunting and have always just used the 4" vanes. What is the major benefit of puting on blazers or a quick spin fletching. I know that quick spin is suppose to make arrow fly staighter, but if you bow is tuned properly and your arrow is straight, are they necessary or do they benefit. How about benefits from the blazers?

I'm going to shoot feathers. For the distances I shoot.....they're known to stabilize a BH quicker than vanes. And....let's face it.....for turkeys I hunt out of a blind.....and the times I hunt in the rain are rare. So.....feathers getting wet wren't that big of an issue for me.

I may fletch a couple with vanes for use in the rain......and the again....I might not.

I shoot 4" vanes with wicked left helical. They work well for me, going to go to a 3" on my FMJs though, tough to get the 4" to stay on with lots of helical on that super thin diameter. I used to shoot Blazers and had good luck with them, they stiffer so less flex when shot, thereby stabilizing faster. The Quickspins do get the arrow spinning fast, but I guess the difference in my experience is minimal when compared to a standard vane. Plenty of choices now that's for sure!

For hunting and practice 3-5" Parabolic(just because they are the quietest IMO) RW Feathers.

For Aerial, 6-4", or 4-4" uncut RW Feathers.

I'm using Predator Duravanes. I love them.......


I also used all white feathers last year. I might do it again too.
