Default what do you use

Just wondering what everyone uses for arrow stabalization. Vanes/feathers, length, kind, straight/offset/helical? Also what type of broadhead do you shoot, fixed or mexhanical, how many blades, weight,and what cutting diamater?

I'd like to see what combos people use and see if there is one that is really common.

Thanks

If your not using quick spins than I say you need a helicoil on your vanes. I use quick spins and magnus stingers 100grain. The faster the arrow spins the more accurate it will be. Quick spins will spin the arrow 3 times faster than just straight vanes.

Actually quick spins should have no helical put on them. They were disigned to be put on straight. But Dairy if they are flying straight obviously it doesn't hurt.
