I notice many of you fellow bow hunters,  4 fletch your arrows is there any advantage to this or is it a preference thing......????

Bill Carlsen

For me they just seem more stable.

preference, looks. on the tech end the arrow can be nocked without concern to fletching orientation

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I used to 3 fletch all my arrows,but after shooting some of my buddies 4 fletch.I just like the way they fly.I was hooked on 4 fletch and fletch most all of my arrows 4 fletch even my Axis/MFX.I tune my arrows well so I think which ever way you fletch will work fine.I think they that the low profile 4 fletch fly flatter then the 3-5" or 3-5.5" higher profile.

I like 4 fletch. I have become so use to the way they look, 3 flech dosent look right anymore

I have a bitzenburger. I set the cock, rotate set a hen, remove the arrow from the indexer and rotate the shaft 180, reinstall it to the indexer then set another hen. Turn the indexer backward to the cock position and set another cock. May be that's the 75/105, I don't know but that's what I like. With the arrow nock pressed on I can fine turn before I glue it

I just fletched one 75/105 and it shoots great. Goin to fletch a few more for this season.

I really like the look of (4) 4" x 90 shields, just don't like the added cost and time associated with it. I have a bitz and a bohning tower jig, and well that tower jig gets lots of use now days.
I'm not a "deer" hunter, I'm a bow hunter that occasionally shoots a deer.

I just fletched up some for my one bow I must say that they fly great and look cool. I use a bitz 4x90 4" shield LW
I love Bow Hunting

4 five-inch fletch...their stability for hunting situations far outweighs the minimal reduction in speed...

I did some 4x90 four fletch and they fly real good, tomarrow I am gonna fletch 1 arrow with 4 3inch fletch on a 75/105 bitz and see how good it turns out, have any of you ever used 3inch feathers......????

ChuckC

I use both, as needed.  I like the fact that the 4 fletch 4" feathers do not come close to contacting the bow at rest, whereas the 5.5" fletch i sometimes use are always dangerously close.  They are also a bit smaller and less likely to rattle when in a bow quiver.

I shoot 4-fletch at 90 degrees.  I use the ancient Chinese formula where the length of the fletches is 1/5 the length of the arrow, and the height of the fletches is the same as the arrow butt diameter.  Works perfectly.

How high do you guys cut your fletching for 4 fletch?
