Terry; while you are in Salado on your hunt ,you should go to Belton,about 5 miles up I-35 to visit Peacocks Archery. Not really a trad shop but Mr. Peacock has collected recures and longbows for years,and has over 300 of them hanging from the ceiling and in cases in the shop. I`ve shot stickbows for 45 years,both target and hunting and he`s got several I`ve never seen. Allow yourself about an hour to see them and talk to Mr. Peacock,he`s a great guy,and he hunts with a stickbow. Bob

I use 5" for 3 fletch and 4" for four fletch.  Been finding myself using more and more of the 4" lately.

Minoritey I may be... but since I have started shooting CT Rhino's I have been shooting nothing but 4" Fletching.  A straighter shaft=Less steering on the back end.  Quick recovery and great penetration!

5 1/2" Shield cut left helical.  I've been using these for 35 years, and see no reason to change now.....

Burn 3 helical 5.5" parabolic shape. Haven't found an arrow/broadhead that won't fly well with big feathers.

It had been 5" shields, but I've switched over to 4x4" (60/120)... mostly b/c I'm cheap  :D

5inch bananas or 5 1/2 same for parobolics and sheild cut...The longer feathers make some arrows work better, thats just what I feel, I like the 4x4 fletch with 4inch feathers, but not for hunting....I have couple three dozen of Legacys in 4 inch feather that fly great and are just find... :)
