Swamphunter Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 [ QUOTE ] I don't know if this has ever been posted before i would like to know who shoots feathers and who shoots vanes? [/ QUOTE ] I've seen this question maybe once or twice already.. I shoot feathers. I like them better than the vanes. Vanes always seemed to get bent out of shape, and never come back. Plus they lay down nicer when going across an arrow rest in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antlers21 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Re: Feathers or vanes??? I shot feathers for the last four years and just switched to vanes this year. No real reason just wanted to try something different. How bad was your FOC to switch your fletching. I have mine around 10% and that seems to work well for me as far as hunting goes. I shoot around 6% with my target bow because the arrrow stays better with longer shots out to 60 yrds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThethirdI Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Re: Feathers or vanes??? Both of them get shot through my bow. I use vanes for target and indoor ranges and for rainy hunting days. I use feathers for hunting any other time. I think that they are more forgiving in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronS Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Re: Feathers or vanes??? I shot feathers the first two years I bowhunted then switched to vanes. I had too many weather-related problems with the feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
