What I like about 4 fletchs is that I can nock the arrow whitout looking/checking.
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

It's looking like I can use the same 4 fletch arrows on a greater number of different bows. So, I'm slowly moving in that direction.

I also use 3, 4" fletch this is not in your poll. No longer use 3, 5" so was unable to vote and keep it realistic.

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

I used 5",3 fletch most of my life but sometimes 5.5".I recently switched t 3",4 fletch and probably will stay there.I also like that I don't have to look for a cock feather,buy two different color feathers and carbon arrow knocks have little or no index tab on the nock.
