4 fletch

[LongbowArchitect]

I've been shooting 4-5" helical for at least 20 years.  I don't have to look at my arrow to nock it on my string, they show up slightly better in flight and they stablalize my 640 gr arrows slightly faster than 3 fletch.  Also my 4 fletch can all be the same color in lieu of a contrasting cock feather which looks better to me in my bow quiver and in flight.

Been reading a lot of threads on 4 fletch. It seems some of you guys are using 4"and some are using 5" is there any major difference or better performance seen from 1 or the other?

Major..no
better...maybe.

Longer feathers are generally higher..which in turn are generally louder.

I like silent arrows..or at least as silent as I can get.

So, I've found that with the right fletch combo (4-4 5/8" modded T-hawk) I could get 4 shorter, quieter feathers that had more surface area to help in the forgiveness area than I was getting with 3- 5" shields.

Just pop them on the string, No need to look for the cock feather helps when hunting.
