I use four Fletch, 4" parabolic at 90 degrees, I do shoot some five inch three Fletch but I like the 4x4's better.

You need to try different fletch types and dimensions to find out what works best for *you*.  

I prefer a 4" nanner 75x105 4-fltech ...

I like the short bananas like Rob but just use 3 fletch with a little helical instead of 4.They work well and are quiet.
