Finally got around to trying it today. Looks like I've got a bunch of hunting arrows to refletch now. My bow was already shooting great and I could tell a difference with the first group I shot.

Good enough that my hunting arrows will be sportin' 4 fletches. I'm using VaneTec 2" HP's.

I think a big difference for the guys I know that shoot them is at distance. As fast as bows are now, giving up a little speeds no big deal to some. I personally don't set up for speed, I prefer a little weight. I could go heavier on arrows but stick around 416gr and shoot about 289fps. Works for elk, so I'm happy. I'm not sure what more you can do for better arrow flight other going with 4 fletch if your bows tuned properly. Yea,I'm not concerned with speed,but the need for more stabilization makes me ask if I'm properly spined. I tune my recurves and frequently trim arrows in 1/4" increments to get perfect flight. A properly tuned arrow will fly perfectly without any fletching to the same impact point as fletched arrows as long as you don't flub the release.

The main thing I've noticed is they seem more forgiving, especially with a fixed head.

Shaw, when you shoot a fixed head, do you align your blades with the fletchings? If so, how much difference do you think it makes?

It doesn't make a difference.

Yep. Fletched them with a slight offset.

Yep. Fletched them with a slight offset. Showing my ignorance, but do you mean offset as far as position of the vane lengthwise on the shaft, or like a helical offset?
