I shot 4 4" feathers for a good while and they worked great, I ended up going back to 3 fletch more for looks than anything else.

I have also noticed that no matter what I was always told, it doesn't make much difference which way I nock the arrow.

There's another way to fletch other than 4-fletch???  ;)

I've tried 3x5, 3x5.5, 4x4, 4x3, 4x5, and even 4x5.5, and settled on 4x5 as my favorite. Do I really need all that feather? No, but I still use it for the convieniance...

I had some a year ago and really liked them. They seemed to shoot better maybe more stable for me. There was just something pleasing about them and easy to nock too.

4x4, 4 inch for my aluminums and carbons
4x4, 5 inch on my woodies

I just like the way they look and I think they handle broadheads well.

I just went out and put close to 100 of each downrange, and To my untrained eye, they seem the same, so I have concluded that it might cost a bit more (1 extra fletch), but looks way Kooler with the same flight, so the other half dozen just got stripped, and now I am gonna have a matched dozen of 4 fletch 5" shields.
