4 fletch arrow 90 or

[Converml]

Hi I was looking for input on 4 fletch arrows does anyone have preferences on degrees. 90 degree, 75x105, 60x120. I'm shooting a mohawk and using 5" shield fletching. Thanks Merle

I prefer the 90 degree setting just for presentation. Shooting both I could not find a difference in flight. The asymetrical setting is supposed to have some merit but I don't know what it is.

I've done all three settings,when I've done 4-5" I like to use 60x120.When I use 4" feathers I like them at 90 degree's.I feel any of the settings will do great on a well tuned arrow.

Everyone is different and like different things, The best thing to do is try them all and see which One You like to Look at and Shoots best for You.

Guess i'll give the a tryout session. Thanks Guys . Merle

I fletch four 4" parabolic feathers straight at 90 degrees. This year I'm going to try 3-inchers. And maybe Razrs.

First off, I admit most of why I do this is superstition and habit. I developed this shooting through a ramp rest on my compound and I am just comfortable with it. I just feel there is going to be less interaction with the bow that way and plenty of drag to straighten out the arrow and I don't have to pay attention to nocking at all. It's symmetrical. There is no way you can get it wrong when your heart is beating it way out of your chest.

This is my first year getting serious with my recurve, so who knows where I'm going to end up. I have a feeling that three months from now I'll be miles and miles into somewhere else.

I shoot 3 inch - four fletch shield cut set at 75 X 105.  I get great riser clearance and love the way they look.

I have a Jo-Jan and you can turn the nock receiver around and do 4 fletch (don't know what degree it is). I did a couple arrows and didn't like the way they flew. There was always a feather bumping on the shelf.

Someone on here suggested the 60x120 and explained how to do it, and I love it. It worked out great, no feather bumping on the shelf.

With the 60x120 it is very easy, if you are interested let me know and I will try to explain it to you.

Alan I'd love to know pm me how. I have a Bitz fledged. Thanks merle

Been shooting 4 4' 75x105 since the 60's I feel they clear the riser better and was told back then spine is less important because arrows will staighten out quicker. Told to me by an old timer that used to make my arrows for me. Not a problem till know, starting to play with carbons, still using the 4 fletch but can't get the arrow weight i like to see.
I like not having to take my eyes off the game to put the arrow on the string.

The 90 deg. comes off the shelf great for me with 600 gr arrows out of a 55# recurve. I guess you should fletch some 90's and some 75X105 and see which you like the best.

[Rob DiStefano]

i use 75x105 or 90x90 - never ever 60x120.  use whatever works best for you and yer bow.

To be honest, I don't think it makes a bit of difference one way or the other. I fletch mine at 90 degrees, and they work well. Ryan Rothhaar fletched his at 60-120. I've shot with him, and let me tell you, he's no slouch by far. And guessing by his trophy room -- which looks like he robbed  Cabela's -- it definetely works for him.

[Cherokee Scout]

I do the 4 fletch at 90.

Ryan's dad figured out the 60 x 120 before the turnable nocks we have on many styles of shafts today.  Roger is one of the smartest guys I have ever met; when he does something, it works.  I would never shoot against him for money and would never bet on him missing a booner buck...even when he hits his 80s!  60 x 120 works great.
