Feathers..shield vs. parabolic

[straight_arrow]

Looking for your personal insight and experiecne with feathers.  Why do you choose one over the other?  Thanks.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I like the way shields look more. Just personal preference for me.

[Outwest]

I use both. They seem to shoot the same.
Shield will hit my knuckle when I shoot my low shelf PLGA.
I think the shields look a little better.

Shield cut are more traditional looking, and I do like them. That being said all but one of my arrows are fletched with parabolic. This was due to that is what I had at hand in the colors I wanted. As it has already been said it is just a personal preference.

Simply like the look of shield cut better. I've been told that shield are noisier but I haven't noticed.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Banana style for Me. I like the looks and with a little cut here or there and You have a hybrid nana fletch

[Ragnarok Forge]

Shield for me.  It just looks more trad to me.

Been shooting shield for 55 years. Not about to change now.

[Pops]

Shield 5&1/2 for me

[Night Wing]

Parabolic for me. I like the way they look. It's what I started out with 47 years ago.

[BAK]

A modified parabolic/banana low height to minimize noise.

I like shield on my wood arrows,but like parabolic on my carbons and aluminum.It's a personal preference.

[guspup]

Shield 5 1/2"

[d from phx]

Shield on my Woodies and parabolics on my Target arrows.

[J.Williams]

Parabolic for me.It's what I've always used and I figure if it ain't broke.......

Shields and parabolics are faster and quieter than traditional cut feathers.  Sheilds for me because I have a shield feather chopper.

[fishntrap]

I use 5 inch parabolics.

[nutmeg]

Both (nut)

I like parabolics on my target arrows, they seem to hold up better when i hit them with another arrow.The shield cut look better.But i also like to have a few banna;s ,i think they look cool and they fly really straight up tp 30 yrds.I would only put sheild cut on wood arrows. Trueflight says they can find NO difference in performace between parabolic and shield cut, but i think the parabolic are faster and straighter ??
