I fletched up a 4 vane last night. Like you, im looking to mix things up a little. When the rain stops im going to shoot it and see how she flies out of my current setup. As far as penetration, theory wise, heavier penetrates better but in reality I’ve never noticed a difference shooting deer with 100 vs 125. I would say on the 125 vs 100, use whichever one flies best out of Your setup.
I assume to if you hit them where you are supposed to hit them penetration really is not a big factor. I would like to hear how the 4 vane flies though, so keep me posted.

If you shoot fixed heads it’s definitely a game changer. If you shoot mechnicals, not so much. One negative that I have found with shooting four vanes with mechanical heads is my arrows are more apt to hang up at the fletches on the exit side on deer. So now I shoot 3 vanes on my arrows with mechanicals and 4 with fixed heads.

Interesting pictures sluggun and I appreciate your pictures. Any particular reason you still use the 3 vane to hunt deer? Just haven’t seen the need to strip the factory fletchings off of my Gold Tips when they’re accurate enough at 30 yards for hunting.

Shot my 4 vane a couple dozen times yesterday pm and she flew great. All i ever shoot is fixed blade heads so im going to fletch up some more. If i just shot mechanicals i probably wouldn’t be experimenting with 4 fletch.

Like I said, I am just bored and wanting to try something different. Thank you for the feed back!
