3 4" shield cuts. With properly spined/tuned arrows, it doesn't take much. They are quiet, and fast

I use 5" parabolic. Have used shield and banana cuts in the past, but always gravitate back to parabolic.

4X4" para usually, like the look of shield a little better.

for summer fun and smaller broadheads (stingers, regular silver flames, helix) I like 4x3". bigger heads 4x4" for sure. this spring I started playing with a 3D setup and found that with a well tuned 2016 a 2x3" fell very well and did not drop off after 25 yds as bad as other fletches. but that is only for target fun. I like trying different things.
