Tuned one of my bows to shoot 4-fletch vanes?

[J. Cook]

I hunted in the rain over the weekend and I hate how that matts down your feathers.  So I started tinkering with one of my bows that I have as a backup.  It's a Browning Fire Drake and I shoot a t-300 elevated rest on it.  So I stripped my arrows and 4-fletched them with 4" vanes and started tinkering and they are shooting PERFECT!!!!  I was a bit surprised actually.  That bow now has the string leech silencers and shooting vanes so I now have a nasty weather bow that I can hunt in the pouring rain with no ill effects.

Anyone else shooting vanes or have a bad-weather bow?

I have a Bear weather rest on my browning wasp takedown and it shoots 2114 shafts with 4"vanes perfect. With the price of feathers going crazy I might convert all my personal bows to vanes.

Yup! I shoot 4-4.25" Marco vanes chopped to shield cut. Work great!
