Default 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.

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!

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?
