I am curious what is everyone's favorite feather length and shape for their carbon arrows  and   why?

I use four four inch shield cut..works out good for my anchor (feather to nose) and gives me sixteen inches of feather for steering big heads..seems a little more forgiving and just looks cool.

Five inch shield cut.Might be to much feather,but I just like the looks of them.

5 inch shield. Shields because I use the back of the feather on my nose as a secondary anchor. I use 5" because I want all of the stabilizing I can reasonably get. Plus, the arrows look good to my eye with this fletch.

5 inch Parabolic, Parabolic cut is quietest and I'm all about my bow shooting the quietest it can / I can make it.  Five inch seems to give it enough rotation.

3 inch shield cut in 4 fletch.   Gives me the same surface area as 3 - 4 inch fletch and has way less noise than longer arrows.

tried just about all size and shape,settled on
5" shield.

4 inch parabolic 3 fletch.

3 inch A&A cut four fletch

4 inch parabolic 3 fletch.Its enough feather for me with the carbons that are tuned well.Thier quiet and not too expensive.You can get 2 fletchings from one full length feather to save some cash as well if you wanna go that way.

3 4" shield cut.

I also use 3, 4" feathers. I prefer shield cut (aesthetics) but I have parabolic on my current arrows.

My arrows are only 27-27.5" long with my 26" draw. I also hunt with single bevel broadheads that match the helical of my feathers. I just don't need longer feathers to stablizied my well-tuned arrows.

I use three 4" feathers, both parabolic and shield.

4" 4 fletch shield cut.

I use both 4" parabolic and 4" shield cut feathers

4" parabolic.  I'd use 3 if I could get good flight.

4 inch, 3 fletch parabolic cut. Just like them better.

3 fletch- 4" shield, used to use 5" because I thought I needed it for good broadhead flight, but that is not the case,perfect flight with 4" and less drag,less noise,that can only be a plus

4X4" parabolic for the wife and I

5" 3 fletch shield cut with as much helix that i can get out of my fletching jig,just like the looks, have tried 4" 4 fletch but kep going back to the 5" 3 fletch.
