Question to those that use 4 fletch........

[Ric O'Shay]

I've never tried 4 fletch before. That said, a few weeks ago I shot some 4 fletch arrows. They were set on 90 degrees. My Bitz shows a 90 degree and a 75/105 degree setting. So, the question is which seems to work better?

All I ever use is the 90.

[DDFlongbow]

I've always used 4x4 at 90.

I use 4 4inch set at 90 degrees. I have been shooting 4 fletch since 1969. I guess you could say I like it.

Mine is set on 90 also, but only because of others suggestions.  I haven't tried the 75/105.  I like the looks and it's an easy no look grab out of the quiver to align on the string.

I started off my 4 fletch with 75/105 as I read it supposed to give you better clearance.

I went to 90 for two reasons:
1) if you do 90 degrees you can turn your nock 4 times and wear all 4 feathers evenly. 75/105 you will wear out your SE and NW features if you were to think of a compass.
2) I zone out when I fletch, 90 degrees I can't screw up!

I should mention either way the arrows fly great. So all things equal, I go with easier.

When I use 4-fletch, I use 90.

Guess I'm odd man out. I like 75x105. When I was a kid the guys using four fletch in my area all seemed to use 75x105. When I started using it it was just natural to make that choice.

As far as I can tell it makes absolutely no difference in anything. Not arrow flight, bow clearance or feather wear.
Not sure how you would screw up fletching one and not the other.

I'm with Mr. Lamb, 75/105, its what my jojan came with. i hunt through thick brush with tight shooting windows. i use 5.5" bananas, probably too much feather, but i get good flight quickly.

You are correct sir, I was thinking I could go screw up if I didn't flip the arrow after the second fletch but that is not the case.

75/105 here

[bigbadjon]

I use the 75/105. I don't really notice a difference in flight versus 90 but I figure I can only gain increased clearance if it even makes a difference.

60/120 4 fletch.  Danny let me know if you are interested in this fletch configuration.

I went to 4" fletch when I went to 4x90. Plenty of clearance and plenty of feather

I use 4 x 90,I don't think it makes a big difference on a well tuned arrow.I have done the 75 x 105,60 x 120 and they shot fine also but I like the 4 x 90.Even did 4 x 90 on some of my Axis FMJ,they fly great.

[Terry Green]

All I gave ever shot was 90....but I doubt it really matters if it's 75 105

[The Whittler]

I have a Jo-Jan right wing and do 60-120 and they fly great. Don't know if this helps.

[jackdaw]

75 / 105 ......great arrow flight.... shoot them either direction .....makes no difference.....

[Jerry Jeffer]

I've used both ways and doesn't matter, but prefer 75x105 for looks. The reason I use 4 fletch is just nock and shoot. Also I use a low profile banana cut.
