Shield Cut Vs. Parabolic??
 
I am pretty much determined that I'm gonna put feathers on my next back of arrows....most likely all white which I thought would look cool. And I was curious if theres a really much of a difference between the two or if its all preference?

Thanks, any input is appreciated!

I've got my hunting arras equipped w/ feathers, the shield cut variety. I think the parabolic are just a tad quieter, and faster....but don't look nearly as cool.

So the Sheild Cut give a more traditianal look but the parabolic perfrom better?

Your going to get better broadhead control with the shield cut but a bit more drag! If you like the shield cut and have no clearance issue, I'd use them, they do look cool, especially barred shield cut!

So are there really any advantages to the parabolic?

I shoot shield cut for anchor point references only... they are louder than parabolic..

So then what makes everyone like the shield cut better?

Looks? or performance?

For me its strictly function, for most its looks...
