Default What do you use..veins/feathers and what size??

I know I want to shoot veins, but would just like to see how many guys use either or. But what I'm really trying to figure out, is if I want to go with 3" veins or not. Just trying to get a consensus on what guys use and if it works well. I'm going to put them on Beman ics 400's, shooting out of an Xtec at roughly 282 fps(if any of that matters at all).

Thanks

I usually stick with 5 inch vanes or feathers.

I shoot 4" vanes. Don't want to shoot feathers for a couple reasons.

My arrows have 4" veins with a 4 degree right offset. I kinda kick myself for not getting feathers. Oh well, I guess thats a reason to order another dozen
