Title: 4" or 5 " feathers on AD trads?
Post by: TSHOOTER on January 18, 2013, 09:18:00 AM
I just got some Arrow Dynamics shafts and was wondering how many folks use 4" feathers on these?  The nock end is so small I don't know if I can get the helical I want with 5 or 5.5"  If they recover from paradox as well as advertised would I even need 5" feathers?

Thanks

I've got some with 5" parabolic and 4" LW shields.  I can't tell the difference.

No problem with 5s.....almost everyone of these are 5s and almost  of the 50 some odd are ADs....and all are bloody....

Here's some 5 1/2" feathers on AD Trads.  Put whatever you want on them.

I use 5" on my arrow dynamics trad shafts you do have to make sure your clamp and jig is adjusted just right though to get a perfect fit but it's not any harder than using standard shafting.

I have a ton of helical on mine with 5" feathers. Its not a problem, just do like mentioned earlier and be sure to adjust you clamps.

I throw a monkey wrench in here, use as small a feather as you can. Quieter, dries faster , flies better wet and doesn't reduce your EFOC %
