which would you choose for these arrows

   


Top feather is Traditonal Shape

Bottom feather is Parabolic Shape

Imagine how much destruction there would be if a road train crashed into a large building complex compared to a Ferrari doing the same thing, each travelling at its top speed. The heavier, slower one just keeps on going.

What happened? I was typing a response to one thread, and my reply came up in a totally different thread when I hit the button!

Ben I dont what happen but when i made this thread it was a different tread. now its back to normal. But i think you answered to the other thread question.

TRAD SHAPE WOULD LOOK GOOD

I love the trad shape.  Been shooting it for 23 years.

I voted for the trad shape, but I prefer shield cut myself.

Where did ya get those arra wraps? I like em.

Top one.  Are you all saying the top is not a shield cut?  If so, what is the difference?

The back end of a shield cut has a curve in it like a half moon slice out of the very back end. The trad cut goes straight on the back at a slight angle backwards, did that make any sense?

Schafer - I get all my arrow wraps from Onestringer, very good quality and the best price around anywhere.  

Yep ... thanks.  Guessing the trad cut is a little quieter than the shield?  But not as quiet as the parabolic?

The tradiotnal shape it called indian shape in this photo

I beleave that the parabolic shape was desinged to be as quiet as possible.

Another vote for the parabolic shape.

I haven't noticed any noise from shield cut or parabolic and I've used both, I guess it's just a personal preferrence for me?

I think the banana cut is supposed to be the quietest of them all from what I've read.

If I shoot primitive self bow, wood arrows I fletch with the trad shape but with the arrows you have there I would use the parabolic.
