If your arrows are well tuned you should only need a 3 X 4". However even with a well tuned arrow I like a 3 X 5" fletch because even though it is a tiny bit slower it is more forgiving on bad releases or in wet weather.

Ive always thought 5" feathers on those skinny shafts looked funny. I normally shoot 4 4" feathers but I doubt you can 4 fletch arrows of that diameter. Id prolly choose the 5" as stated above.

3 X 5" parabolics always worked well for me, 4 feathers on an MFX is getting pretty tight.

keep it simple, 3x5" as already suggested, but full helical.
