I haven't tried that combo, but I'm fletching some Cabela's Stalker Xtremes up with RH 5.5" banana-cut right now. Hope they fly good, gonna just do 3 for the moment.

On a bitzenburg jig I've fletched many dozen MFX's with 5.5 shields in both left and right helical.  Should work on other jigs just as well, I just use bitzenburgs myself. dino

I use 5.75" "MaxiFletch" Parabolics in a 3-Fletch configuration with a decent bit of helical.  Bitz handles them nicely.  I need as much stabilization as I can get.

Strange things happen when you pull a bow this far......

That is a 32" draw on a 56" bow......

:saywhat:  

So the fletching must be there to slow the arrow down after it leaves the animal.  :D
