The myth of feathers being affected by rain doesn't hold water to me.

For real? I mean, I'm not doubting you, but, I was just thinking, WOW! I've always heard the opposite. A wet feathered arrow is darn near useless. Hmmmm....

Now, just to clarify... I AM talking hunting distances (30 yards or less). I wouldn't want to take a shot further than that in a downpour anyway, for fear of the blood trail being washed away too quickly. But I have seen negligible differences in POI under those circumstances at those distances.

I was told by a local pro shop owner that in real cold temps (below 0) that vanes get stiff and make the arrow fly erratically. Has anyone else heard of this?
