Title: Talking 2" Feathers
Post by: tracker12 on April 09, 2014, 06:49:00 AM
A friend of mine sent me several True Flight 2" feathers to try out.  I have shot 2" vanes out of my wheel bow for years with good success but never entertained using them for my trad gear.  After fletching a few arrows up I hit the range last night and was pleasantly surprised the way they performed.  Accuracy and flight were just as good as the 5" I have been using.  They also seemed quieter so I had the wife go safely down range and to listen to the difference.  She was confident they were on every shot.  I was convinced that when the Broadheads got screwed on (200 grain VPA 3 Blade) I would see a drop in accuracy but I didn't.  Actually with the strong 10-15 MPH winds we were experiencing I thought they did great.  I like the look of a 5" helical fletched arrow but I think I am going to set up on of my bows with them.

You might want to try the Gateway Rayzr as well

I have used 3" with good success, even with strong winds, good luck with them.

I have tried seen the rayzr and like the grind on these better.  Very similar in size. Plan or doing some longer range shooting with BH's this evening.
