4" feathers
Yesterday I bought 4" feathers. The guy at my shop didn't have any 5" so I figured I'd try the 4s. When I got home I cut and fletched 1 arrow, screwed in a Snuffer and went shooting. The arrow flew great. I was worried I needed 5" feathers. Does anyone else use 4" feathers?

RE: 4" feathers
I've used them before, and if I ever run out of 5" (got quite a few) I'll probably switch over, just because I can get two 4" cuts from most full length feathers. I do prefer a 4-fletch with 4" though, especially with broadheads--just in case I really blow my release, a little extra feather on the shaft helps.

RE: 4" feathers
Ive used 4" feathers for years. I just recently (few years ago) started using 5". You will probably see no real difference, that is if they are offset like you would have for your 5 and your release is good.".
