So let me ask you nana guys, why? I have just started to experiment with the nanas the last couple of days to see if I can shoot my Snuffer 160's with a little less drag. Results are not in yet so I ask, Why use nanas instead of shield? Thanks.

I like the way they look.  Also with the lower pro nanners I think there is less drag on the tail end..but thats just my thinking, I have no way to really tell..maybe its just in my head..

Mike-I use nanners just because they look cool.But I think they make a touch less noise than shields.Also handy if you use both RW and LW.A nanner chopper will cut both wings.

I also think they stabilize better.But it's all personal opinion here.YMMV.

Guru,

I got that shape like you showed from my old friend and mentor Bob Grauberger before he passed away.  He and his Dad had used it since the 60's.  They called it a Mongol fletch but I don't know if that is a correct term or not.  I've always liked it.  Stable, quiet and cool looking.  Sometimes real wild turkey fletch will buzz a bit but I've never been certain if it was due to the tips at the aft end or from getting the curve too tall in the center.  I think it is more likely the height in the center as banana's cut tall buzz worse than anything I've ever used.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Parabolic if I'm hunting just because they're quieter than shields.
