Just be sure to practice with broadheads with the smaller fletch.

4 -4" fletches give you 16" of fletching, 3 -5" give you 15 inches of fletching - granted the 4" tend to be a little lower, but the extra total length evens things out.  I've never had issues with control with 4 - 4" fletches, even with 740 grain arrows with 300 grains of broadhead.

I am waiting for some 4" feathers to arrive and off to the range I will go......
I wish I had a yard large enough to practice but I don't
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..
