Tominator Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: ARROWS All in all, I think you're better off with vanes, especially with all the drop away rests that are on the market today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mnarcher Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: ARROWS This is what I have been told are the differeneces between vanes and feathers. Vanes will stabilize the arrow faster but they fall off on distance over feathers. Feathers will keep the arrow stable at longer distances. Also feathers will not deflect an arrow if the fletching hits branches where vanes being stiffer may deflect the arrow. I personally shoot vanes because I like the durability and if they brush up against my clothes they don't make a noise like feathers will. I have shot both and I have fletched both and I prefer vanes. Oh and this is my first of many posts on this forum. I also did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Guest tyshe17 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: ARROWS I shoot a parker, and last year I shot feathers. However this year i am shooting blazers, and they seem to be just as fogiving, more durable, and quieter. I would go with blazers if you have the option. jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo_hunter Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: ARROWS I like feathers better. But shooting quikspins this year. Try both and decide for yourself. Good luck hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_drop Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Re: ARROWS I used to shoot feathers all the time with aluminum arrows, but now that I am shooting carbons i am shooting fletches. I was told they go better with the carbons. That is just what i heard not a official thing. Have worked very well for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
