fletching sizes- carbon arrows vs. primitive

<< < (2/2)

Bluehawk:
I made arrows as a business for an archery shop for 15 years   I made arrows for compounds as well as traditional bows .  M O S T of the time the small fletching  ( plastic ) used on the carbons or aluminum or composite arrows, was to increase speed not actualy to help in the flight of the arrow.   AND in as lot of cases the arrow filght was  greatly impaired. 
    Many things    as was mentioned above    have effect on the flight of  arrows   including the alingment of the broadhead, straight on the shaft , etc. etc.   Many many times  guys came back to me to have the fletch size increased in order to get a more stable filght  AND many a compound shooter i converted to feathers over  vanes .     
   

recurve shooter:
Ted Nugent shoots 5 inch turkey feathers on his carbons out of a compound. the guy has a little sence eh? ;D
