What are you shooting as a favorite.....banana cut or shield cut?
I really like my banana fletch!!
:thumbsup:
I burn my own design,but I have both and like the look of shield and the stabilizing ability. and the flight and quietness of banana.I think each design has a purpose and a use,you have to figure which works for your set up.
Nana's all the way.
Neither. Parabolic.
I love banana's for the simple reason that I hate to look like everyone else. There is no question who's arrow is stuck in a tree 20 foot up when you look. Not that I would know anything about that.
I use both... spread the love....
banana cool, or parabolic! :thumbsup:
Never tried banana. I shoot shield and parabolic, with parabolic being my preference.
How come parabolic is not listed?
I like the nanas
5 1/2 inch high shield in yellow. :)
I'm a banana fletch guy now... always loved shield cuts for the way they looked, still do... but I think that banana cuts are quieter.
Shield.
Parabolic, bananas don't know if there coming or going.
Hey guys im new to the trad thing what are the advantages of each style of fletching Thanks Shane
parobolic and shield.
4 x 4" bannanas 90x90x90x90 low profile.
Low profile if I am putting on naners. I made a whole bunch of the regular and 5 1/2 inch naners, they sure trap air and sing on down to the target. If you were using a huge broadhead and some heavy arrows they work well. I like them for bird and bunny hunting, they don't fly too far.
:archer2:
Sure would like to know how you guys get quiet nana's.
I have 3 choppers. sheil,nana,and traditional. Trad and nana's sound like a million bee's in flight but the shields r whisper quiet.
I really like nana's for 3d shoots. wheelie guys get a kick out of them.
Flintznsticks there's a tutorial in the how to section on how to modify your chopper to make low profile banana feathers. Good luck!
Keeping the Faith!

Don't chop them so high.
for me, it's lo-pro nanners on carbons, 4" 4-fletch, slight offset and no helical. for woodies, same length only cut a tad higher. without a doubt, for me the nanners are quieter than shields.

Why no parabolic was asked? I have nothing against them at all.....just that Ive been shooting shields 100% for a while now and was thinking of trying some bananas, thats all. No hate for the parabolics...please dont confuse!
wanted to see what people said regarding the bananas.
Maybe missed it - how do you get the nanners to low profile?
Grapes that is way to funny. Nanas for me.
Lo-pro nanners for stealth work...sorry I said parobolic, not trying to jump the thread...foregive me...need coffee :knothead:

li'l chopper sells a lo-pro banana cutter, or shim up yer standard cutter for a lowered feather height and length. i use 4-fletch exclusively between 4" (carbons) and 4-3/4" (woods).

Thanks Rob, sure looks good.
Been shooting 4 x 4" low pro naners for years and do not plan on switching anytime soon.

You can also buy the Hunter cut (low pro naner) from Herb's Archery. He based his chopper design off the old Vario Clipper.
