I got ahold of a dozen easton arrows last week and they were all 4-fletched with 4" parabolic feathers, I was intending on stripping the feathers off and re-fletching them with 3 5inch shield cut feahters; but i decided to shoot them and see how they flew with the 4-fletch first. Surprisingly to me they flew very well, i might just keep them on there and hunt with them this fall. I was just wondering how many of you guys are shooting four fletch? and if so how do you like it compared to 3 fletch? Also what length feathers do you guys typically shoot with 4-fletch?    

I do!

I like 4-5" if my setup will shoot them, sometimes I get a little too much contact though.

I shot my buddy's four fletch a few years ago,they are all I shoot now?! Even made some four fletch Axis.I do shoot three fletch on some Easton Injexion I have,they are skinnier then Axis.

I have since 1969, I guess you could say I like them.

I tried 4 - 3" Trueflight just because I had them, and the arrow flew great.

I was introduced to 4" 4 fletch by Snag (David Lawson) of Wilderness Custom Arrows on 2 sets of Sherwood woodies. That's all I want now. No cock feather in or out worries. Just hook'em up and let fly. And they fly great.

Been shooting 4's for quite a few years now.

I shoot 5" but that is what I had on hand, I believe 4 -4" would be more than enough.

They fly same as three Fletch for me, had an older very accomplished hunter tell me that they are less effected by cross winds. I couldn't tell with field tips, haven't shot a broadhead with them in the wind.

I have some and like them.

Since 1980! 4- shield cut 41/2" with tight helical @ either 60x 120 or 75 x 105 , depends on my mood when i'm fletching,  

I do

I've only got a couple dozen arrows that are not 4-fletch...

Most of my arrow have 4-4" right helical on them at 90 degrees..  Love them!

It is all I have shot for quite a few years.

D.P.

4 fletch 5 inch RH for the last 25 years

they straighten up quick if you muff the release IMO

Yep! Been shooting 4 fletch on the 90 for a few seasons now.  I don't think I'll ever go back to 3 fletch.

4" 4 fletch seems to work about the same as a 5" 3 fletch for my bow.  The 5" 3 fletch looks more "traditional" in my book, but if this sport was about looks then I'd have been kicked out long ago.

Looks like there are plenty of 4 fletch shooters, I've shot it for many years, too.  Four 4" parabolics fletched 90x90 is my standard.

I am shooting 4 - 4" shield on my Easton FMJ they seem to fit better on the smaller diameter shaft, really liking the way they shoot.

  Still use 3 - 5" on my woodies.

I've been shooting 4, 5" feathers for years !
