RE: feathers or vanes
 

OK, it has occured to me that Arthur really DOES know what he is talking about.....I just thought he liked to rabble on.....:D I have both, when I am just shooting in the backyard, I shoot arrows with plastic....I just bang 'em together too much to keep replacing feathers. My hunting arrows on the otherhand, feathers and will never be anything else. I put waterproofing powder on them, no sweat. When your feathers get ruffled, yep, steam works great. Feathers are, IMO, far more superior in their stabilizing characteristics.

RE: feathers or vanes
 

It's vanes for me! I have been back and forth so many times. I have never had a feather that is as quiet as a vane. But that's not why I am going with vanes. I'm just tired of baby sitting my feathers when hunting. That's the only reason for me.
