Title: Gateway Batwing feathers
Post by: valleysniper on December 16, 2019, 10:09:36 PM

Has anybody tried these yet?  Looking at trying them out in my new Dryad when it gets here. Wonder if there is any real benefit or maybe just a different route to do the same thing....Gary

I have used all three lengths these feathers are available in. Yes they are different. Mine aren't noisy. My 3D arrows wear the 2 1/2" Batwings with my other 3D arrows having the longer ones. I made up some hunting arrows with the 4 1/2" feathers. I recommend these feathers.

What fletcher do you use to fletch the 4 1/2" feathers? As I understand it, you should fletch with as much helical as possable
