Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Anyone else shoot 4 fletch arrows?

I have always shot 4 fletchings (Feathers). Not at 90 degrees but at 75 and 105. I like this setup because you don't have to pay any attention to the location of the cock feather, and you have a lots of stabilization.

I did for 20+ years, for the exact same resons you mention. At that time I shot a heavy arrow, alumimum, and fingers. I think that the four feathers helped.

Tried 4-fletch before, didn't spend a lot of time with them have since returned to 3-5" left wing feathers fletched with a good bit of helical.

I'm a 4 fletch shooter too. And they all have to be the same color. Looks like a big ass tracer going away from you, and if you see any wiggle at the tail in flight, its time to check the set-up.

I've only used 4 fletch for the last 15 years Don't see me changing anytime soon, and I catch hell for it at 3D shoots all the time.

I shoot 4 fletch off of the longbow or when shooting carbons with large broadheads. They are more visible during their flight. My cedar and fir shafts are three fletched with 5 1/2 banana fletching and are just as visible though.

I have before, ran 4-4" and really liked them. Running 3-5" now as i had someone else put them together, but really liked the look of the 4s.

I shoot four fletch for a reason. True Flight actually recommends shooting 4 fletch if you are shooting big broadheads and 4 inch feathers. If you shoot the 5.5 then three is sufficient. If you shoot field points or expendables then three fletch would be fine. My bow will only allow a 4 inch length feather before getting into the WB. I shoot big broadheads, so I shoot 4 inch feathers. I want as much stabilizing as possible. I also like heavy front of center points that cause your feathers to have more influence on stabilizing and better penetration. Just my reasoning..good luck

used to shoot 4 5 inch fletch set at 90 degrees from my longbow when hunting
White tails from a tree stand in brushy areas where shots less than 20 yds. The 4 fletch seemed to help straighten out arrow flight very quickly for the close shots.

Shooting heavy birch shafts and sniffer heads.

Just ask yourself....

When was the last time you saw a flu-flu shoot bad??
