Anybody know if there will be a significant difference in the steering capabilities of a 3" parabolic feather vs. a 4"? I know most people use a 4" but i've seen some people using a 2" Rayzr and they swear by them. So i figured a 3" parabolic would work just as well. Thanks alot.
I've used them all. 5", 4", 3" and Razyr. IT really just depends on your set up. If you're using a big aluminum with a big, fixed blade broadhead, use a 5" feather and don't look back. If you're using a small diameter carbon with a low profile head or a mechanical, Razyr's work very well. I'm currently shooting Maxima Hunter with Slick Trick heads, and I have some of my arrows fletched with Razyr's and some with 3" feathers. I can't tell a bit of difference. But I was also recently shooting a mid sized aluminum ( 2312) and Razyr's wouldn't cut it. But a 4" feather worked perfectly. Remember, the bigger the feather, the more wind resistance. The more wind resistance, the more steering capability it has. But, it will also slow down faster. We could go on and on, but the simplest explanation is to match it with your arrow and broadhead combination.
The Razyr would work well, as would the 3". No doubt the 4's and 5's would as well, but not needed. ps. Those Stingers are sweet, huh?
