I Like 5" shield cut, I made cut some 5 1/2" Bananas, but they cut my hand when I shoot them.

I shoot 5" parabolic or shield as the mood strikes me.  RW usually but have LW as well.  Always 3 fletch.  This has worked for years, no reason to change now.

3, 5" right wing shield cut feathers work the best for me.

I shot 3 5" shields for a long time. Been experimenting with 4 4" low profile banana's (.5" high) and the Adcock fletch 4 2.5" x .5" with turbulator. Both are stabilizing my broadheads well, are quiet and have raised the foc some.

I shoot 4 x 4" Bananas and have found them to be the best, I used to shoot 3 x 5.5" Shields and definitely prefer the Bananas.
