Will 3 4inch fletching work?

[Sapper1980]

Hello....i am sorta new to this site and have a question.  Will 3 4inch feather fletching stabilize a Broadhead tipped arrow for hunting?  Thanks....

If your arrows are tuned (or close to tuned), you bet!

I've been using three 4" feathers for several years now as I can chop out two 4" fletchings per full length feather.

I am going to be bare shaft tuning these arrows first...i came into 1 dozen and a half Bemen arrows that are Fletcher but full lenth....Thanks.

Yes!  That’s all I use on my arrows. Like said above, the key is being well tuned.

All I use w/Simmons Tree Sharks.

I too use only 3 fletch 4" feathers. I'm not perfect, but my arrows seem to fly good.

My hunting arrows are higher range FOC.

Have exclusively used three 4" fletch the past nine years.

Have been shooting 2" Tree Sharks with a 100 gn insert the past couple of years. They have been routinely tested to 35 yards and have always been spot on and have shown no signs of being finiky.

I'm going with about 280gr. Up front...

I got some that were already fletched off the classifieds,and they fly great.

[Sirius Black]

That's what I use.

properly tuned 3 4in feathers are twice what you need...i use 2 2in. feathers

Twice what you need. I use 1 1" feather.

[Zradix]

ABSOLUTELY!

...but I like four 4-5" myself.
....just peace of mind I guess.

For laughs and giggles try 4 3" feathers. I have a friend who shoots 55# and GT arrows and 300 grains up front with this configuration. He won't shoot anything else. I like four fletch 3.75" fletch.

That is what I use on my carbons with no issues whatsoever. I shoot 4 fletch on wood to be able to get more wear out of the feathers.

That's what I use on my Centershot's

I use 3 2.5" fletch.  We bare shafted with a 1.5" broadhead.  
It took some tweaking but we achieved perfect flight.  Going to those 2.5" fletch was a great move.  Arrows are much faster.

3 should work fine as stated above if the arrows are tuned and your release is good.  What if that doesn’t happen tho ?  I also like 4 fletch and I shoot 3, 5” feathers too but I get one more inch of feather with the 4 fletch.
