let's hear your opinions and experiences on WHY you believe a certain fletch shape is the most stealthy and which one is loudest

Parabolic shape usually is the quietest for me. While Banana cut seem to whistle quite a bit.

Parabolic. It is low profile so it is stiffer and it tails off s not to leave a point to rustle in flight. God Bless

I think the low profile banana cut is pretty quiet.

Parabolic,that being said I shoot shield cut

A&A or low profile banana quiet.
Shields loud

Parabolic are probably the quietest because they don't have an edge....

The low profile shield cut I use is not loud at all, if it was I sure wouldn't use it. Loud doesn't always come from the cut, or length, it also comes from the height as well. 6 inch high backed bananas are loud...as are most 'high back' fletch cuts. I also have some high backed 3.5 inch feathers that are short, but I made them to be loud for shooting demos for kids....they are loud, like in the HH movies.

I can tell you that Tradional cut is very loud...

Big Ed · « **Reply #9 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:24:00 PM »

I should mention the Banana's I shot were magnums.

3 rivers T-hawk is quiet.

Parabolics.

Steelhead · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:20:00 AM »

Parabolic 3 or 4 inch.

MonRiver · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:22:00 AM »

Perfect timing for this thread! I WAS going to order P&Y for my next batch of woodies and switch away from the parabolics, but not now!

I don't hear anything shooting three 5" low profile banana's that come from Magnus.

Zradix · « **Reply #17 on:** September 05, 2012, 08:41:00 AM »

The quietest are low profile cuts that have well supported rear quills.

A low pro moon is the quietest I've shot.
Just not a lot of steerage there.

High profile "trad" cut is the loudest I've shot.

I've been liking a slightly modified T-hawk chop.
I use 4x4.5" that I cut a little low pro.
Pretty quiet with a good amount of steerage.

Lots of helical can make em loud too.
