Imagine how much destruction there would be if a road train crashed into a large building complex compared to a Ferrari doing the same thing, each travelling at its top speed. The heavier, slower one just keeps on going.

Top one.  Are you all saying the top is not a shield cut?  If so, what is the difference?

The back end of a shield cut has a curve in it like a half moon slice out of the very back end. The trad cut goes straight on the back at a slight angle backwards, did that make any sense?

Schafer - I get all my arrow wraps from Onestringer, very good quality and the best price around anywhere.   :thumbsup:

Yep ... thanks.  Guessing the trad cut is a little quieter than the shield?  But not as quiet as the parabolic?

I beleave that the parabolic shape was desinged to be as quiet as possible.

I haven't noticed any noise from shield cut or parabolic and I've used both, I guess it's just a personal preferrence for me?

I think the banana cut is supposed to be the quietest of them all from what I've read.
