Default 4" target fletching

I've got some aluminum 2512's I'm going to turn into target arrows. I've decided on some 60gr PDP glue in points with 25gr added to them. I would like get some 4" low profile fletching for them, but don't have the opportunity to see them at any of my local stores.

What 4" low profile fletching do you all recommend?

While I'm asking what nocks do you all like to go with the unibushings?

me and a few buddies used these before for some 3d, but we're not into it enough be serious. But they shot well.

With the uni bushings, on a shaft like that, I use the Easton super nocks most of the time because they are easy to find in my local shops. I've had the super 3d nocks too ( I think that's what the are called),and I do alot of indoor dot shooting, and those nocks do well for me.

for skinny carbon 3d shafts, like the accs, or whatever elseaccepts a uni bushing, we'd use the easton G-nocks.

I forgot to add........stick with a 4" fletch for shaft like that. We did a lot of playing around this year with our indoor spot arrows, mostly 2514's and 2613's. We tried blazers, quikspins and mini blazers.....anything you could imagine. We ended up going back to 4" feathers with a mild helical.

I've got some 4" feathers so I might just stick with those. Thanks Mikey.

I just started shooting large diameter eastons for 18m spots and I perfectly glued on the 4" vanes with a light helical. AND guess what, they are too long to shoot off my 82nd airborne and ultra rest......Damned......
