Yep 3X4 feathers for me also.  Although for AK I use 3x4 vanes off of a rest.

3 x 3" feathers, I'm thinking about trying 3 or 4, 2" feathers. When I do, I'll post up results.

Later !

kidding..

I don't like anything longer than a 4".  In my experience, I feel like the shorter and lower profile, the better the trajectory.  

FWIW.. I have shot the big 2" simmons heads with 3" feathers just to see if they would stabilize the head, and they did.
The 6.5" feathers almost make up for Daniels release!    :biglaugh: [/b]
I'm looking for a 10" feather.. maybe that would help!!

As FOC increases, the amount of fletching required to stabilize the arrow decreases.

EFOC arrow designs thru Ultra EFOC, display notable progressive losses in velocity.

Even noticeable at lower FOC designs.

Exceedingly more fletch than required presents more drag thus, slowing the arrow.

Never had a problem with 3 4", parabolic or shield.
