4x4 @ 105x75     :thumbsup:    

Four fletch allows for a 4" feather, so you can burn/chop two fletches from each full length feather for best economy.  More effective surface area for better control at trad hunting distances.  No cock feather, so no indexing needed on yer nock for faster nocking, too!     :)

With selfbows I like a low brace height to make a longer power stroke, so I use 4inch feathers or my own design. Kinda like a shield cut that are a little higher.

I use 5.75" Magnum 'Nanners in a Rt wing 3-fletch.  I need as much steering control as I am still trying to be consistent.  Since 5.75 wasn't a choice, I put down 6".
