I like the way shields look but use parabalic.

I'd like to try the Banana, but I don't know where to get them.  Anyone know or is it something I have to make myself?

I just got started and using 5.5" t-hawk.  I seen in another thread were some guys modified their chopper by raising the base and cutting more low profile cuts.  I am going to try that on my next dozen and get a lower profile t-hawk.

I've always used parabolic, but I have a dozen 4" shields and am liking them.

I love shields (5") for the way they look...very traditional looking to me, however..........I hunt with 3 - 5" parabolics just because they make absolutely minimal noise!

5.5" high cut shields for self bow, they seem to give me the best flight, and 5" shields and 5" parabolic for recurve and longbow.

I shoot 4-4" shield cut,I really like the looks of bananas, but have never been able to get them quiet, even with a lower profile. Same goes forthe traditional cut, a bit too noisy for my liking, but really look cool.

As long as we're sort of on the subject..how much clearance is everyone leaving between the fletch and where the knock starts?  Just curious if there is an optimum distance.
