4-5" fletches would give you a heck of a lot of stabilization and drag.  What are you stabilizing?

Hey Ken,

Been awhile! No cresting to show off, but here's a 4 fletched, red barred bunch resting in one of Shell's sweet Bison Hide quivers waiting to be launched!

 

Good luck with those logs of yours this Fall!    :thumbsup:
