I hunted in the rain over the weekend and I hate how that matts down your feathers. So I started tinkering with one of my bows that I have as a backup. It's a Browning Fire Drake and I shoot a t-300 elevated rest on it. So I stripped my arrows and 4-fletched them with 4" vanes and started tinkering and they are shooting PERFECT!!!! I was a bit surprised actually. That bow now has the string leech silencers and shooting vanes so I now have a nasty weather bow that I can hunt in the pouring rain with no ill effects.
Anyone else shooting vanes or have a bad-weather bow?
I have a Bear weather rest on my browning wasp takedown and it shoots 2114 shafts with 4"vanes perfect. With the price of feathers going crazy I might convert all my personal bows to vanes.

Yup! I shoot 4-4.25" Marco vanes chopped to shield cut. Work great!
Iv been shooting bi delta rain vains off the shelf of my quabon nano and they group about a 2" left of my feathers with the same tune
