I have a lot of shield cut and parabolic feathers on my arrows,But I got a burner and have done some cool shapes and the burner gives you endless possibilities with shapes.

I prefer parabolic since I think the parabolic shape is quieter in flight than the shield shape.

My personal favorite is the 5.5" Swift cut that 3Rivers sells as a chopper.

Nanners all the way for me. I think they look cool and don't have any noise issues.

I use Parabolic exclusively for every day shooting. Plan to use my Vario 5" "Indian" to fletch my hunting arrows with three wild turkey feathers.

Shield for me -Since I utilize the feather to my nose as a soft anchor.
