I use 4 3" parabolics.  You can chop 3 out of a full length.  Or two and a flu flu left over.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

30 odd years ago I did some chrono tests comparing 3 fletch to 4. I didn't find enough difference in the two to matter and if the four fletch gives me a little more stability, I'll take it.

Been using 75x105 4 fletch ever since.

75x105 5"  low profile banna cut.  Because I liked 'em and years ago few were using them in my area.  Used to love the look on folks' faces when they asked  "what the heck are you shooting/"

I started shooting 4" 4x90 parabolic last year. No matter which way you nock it's always right. I think they are a little quieter than the big 5 inch and stabilize my arrow almost as quickly.

Shot 4 fletch, 4"x90 parabolic for the first time this afternoon.  Anybody in the market for about 4 zillion 3 fletched arrows?

4 Fletch will actually not be much slower. 4feathers*4infeathers=16in of fletching. 3feathers*5infeathers=15in of fletching so you only have 1 in more of feather drag. You might want to try 3.5in 4 fletch because that would give you 14in of fletching.

started shoot 4x4" para at 90deg earlier this year and I like them for several reasons.  don't need to look to nock and arrow, fly just fine and I can usually get 2 fletch out of 1 full length feather.  (although the last bag of 100 full length I just got have an awful lot more short feathers than they used to)
