Fletching

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
I usually use 5 1/2" high back fletchings. The optimal size feathers are the ones that shoot best from your bow and with your style. The smaller ones are better because of less drag but it does depend on what works best for you.     Pat

mullet:
   It really depends on how far you are shooting and if you are shooting through heavy, thick brush. If you are shooting through small openings in brush and short ranges you will need longer, higher fletching. That way the arrows straighten up quicker from the paradox and clear the tight openings cleaner.
   
   If you are shooting longer distances, than you can go with shorter profile, and shorter fletching to reduce drag and noise.

PAWannabe:
Thanks guys. What do you mean by high and low profile? 1" and 1/2"? Something else?  I would be limiting myself to 20 yards.

Coo-wah-chobee:
There is no optimal fletching length. Some foks dont even use fletch fer shots up ta 15-18 yards..........bob
