Fletching Covers on a Bow Quiver - Use them or not??

[b.glass]

I've tried them and didn't like them. I quess I haven't found the right one either. Another problem I had was them hanging up on thorny vines and brush.

I also use muted feathers with tracers. I don't hunt much in the rain. Kinda elimanates the need for one. But I can see where the open end would help matters alot.

Is this the type you use Terry?

The only time I always use one is when I have a turkey tag in my pocket. As far as deer are concerned, if I can kill one while wearing a blaze orange vest, I somehow doubt my feathers are going to spook them. There are a few things I don;t care for about fletching covers, but the worst is shooting in the wind. I don't like having a big sail on the side of my bow, which is why I take my quiver off in windy conditions.

I've found fletch covers to be a nuisance but probably because I've used poorly designed examples. For this reason, I ordered one from Rod and will give it a try. Just from his photos I can see he has thought through some of the shortcomings I've encountered.
