4" sheilds. I use that Rick Welch double anchor system in which the tip of the feather touches the end of your nose, and your thumb on your ear. If I use 5" with my jig it puts the end of the feather too close to my face.

I use a huge 3-rivers swift chopper I think they are at least 5 1/2" when cut. They serve no purpose and actually create noticeable loss of trajectory at 20 yds ( 2-3") compared to 5 1/2" shields or 4" shields but they are big and gaudy and look really cool!!! I shoot all LW just to keep it simple and match what Single bevel broadheads I have.

Mostly 5" parabolic LW.
I really like the 3Rivers Swift. I adapted the chopper to make a shorter lower profile. They just look cool.
