He proceeded to shoot that bare shafted Snuffer tipped arrow about 45 yards right into the heart of his deer target.

I think if you are tuned properly, you don't need any fletching to shoot a big Snuffer!
Thats AWESOME Steve O!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not use them with snuffers myself.It is a big head and not the best flying because of it's size if you flub a release at all.At hunting distances there is no advantage in useing smaller feathers when using a heavier arrow.I would not use small feathers on a heavier arrow or use big ones on a light arrow because there is not advantage to either for hunting. jmho
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....

I agree that more feather on a hunting arrow is a good thing.

They will be fine, but as said above a flecthing jig and buying your own feathers will save a lot of money in the long run. Even just having one, saves money on repairs or when ya buggar just one feather. Shawn
