i'm using 3 5" feathers now, but am thinking of trying 4  4".

does 1 angle setup have advantages over the other?

thanks.

WENT TO 4 @ 90DEG YEARS AGO AND NEVER WENT BACK.

I've done them both ways,but just like the looks of 4 fletch at 90.Both ways fly great for me.

i've had bows that the clearance is better with the 60/120 over the 90 but that is rare. I really like four fletch.

I like four fletch as well, it is great for visibility of the arrow, with the 4th feather, as well as a bit more overall feathher (16") with 4 x 4"...

I also switched to 4 fletch about a year or so ago. I'm shooting mine at 90 degrees and have had no issues.

Having shot 4-fletch for years, I prefer 90 deg.  With a well tuned arrow, clearance should not be an issue.  Some folks are sold on the 60x120, but the only advantage I see to it is that is is fletched with a regular 3-fletch jig, and most jigs will fletch 4x anyway.

90 deg 4-fletch goes way back.  The standard low clearance fletch was 75x105 and was done for cable clearance on compounds.

When I ordered my first custom bow back in "89/90" The late Jim Brackenbury suggested I shoot 4 fletch with my new Legend I've done it ever since with all my bows with now problems what so ever. 4x4"x90deg.

Most all of my arrows are 4 fletch 90, I seem to get better arrow flight. Have shot 4 fletch for years now.

I tried 4 at 90˚ ( + )
Really like it.

It might not matter at all, but I like that with 90˚ the amount of feather when viewed from the side is always equal.

Other configurations don't have this trait.

Me too.  I also use the outside feather as one of my 3 anchor points.  Touch it to my nose...

Hi!
Whats the difference between 90 and 60/120?     :confused:

+ or x
It refers to the degrees between the feathers.

So 90' is straight?

Wouldn't you get faster rotation then with 60/120?

they could all be ( imho should be) helically fletched.
So the rotation would be the same.
I've wondered if the 90˚ would actually rotate better do to more "clean air"

But that would be splitting hairs kind of stuff.

Thank you for enligthen me        

90 looks better no diffrence in performance
on most bows. You will get less wipp off the line with 4 if your arrows are not spined correct

I would think, that 4 is slower and bit of over kill, not to mention, movement being more easily seen in the woods. If your shooting 20-25 yds. I don't think it's going to matter that much, shoot whatever works better for you.

Im surprised at how many guys shoot this way!  I've never seen someone doing it, here in this solitary state.  However, I was just contemplating this morning adding another feather this go around.  

thanks!
