Shields are my favorite at the moment. But I change every now and then.

I like the looks of the shield cut but have parabolic on all my hunting arrows because they seem to be a little quieter. Either case they are all 5" long RW.

I've always used 3-5" shields. I just fletched up a few with 4-4" parbolics and am really liking the way they fly, and they seem to be quieter. I'm gonna play with them some more and might end up running them with 4 fletch for awhile.

Shield cut for me. I just like the looks and don't think there is much noise difference.

I've been using banana fletch for years. I burn my own and have started making them a little shorter in length and height, Still work great like that.
