    I am going to purchase a new set of Gold Tip 5575 arrows and dont know what type of fleching to put on this set . Can anny body tell me what what shoot better with a 100 grain broadhead . I have been shooting the last 5 years with 2' vanes and my hunting buddy shoots with 4'spinners . Can any body give me a shout back .

    I'm pretty certain the 4 inch are for traditional style arrows, while your 2 inchers work better w fall away, compounds rests.

    Tuned compound and release you should never need more than 2" blazers.

    See maybe its just me but I've shot blazers, nap quikfletch twisters, an as of right now 4" veins. If anything my 4" make my arrows way more stable an seem faster, with tighter groups. The twisters were nice an woulda stuck with em if it weren't for them bein twice the price of a pack of veins, an wasn't really impressed with the blazers. They are a lot louder an make my arrows seem less stable. Like I said maybe its just me, maybe it's personal choice, but IMHO I'd rather have a larger vein for better stability/broadhead guidance.

    For the avg joe shooting a fixed blade head...that shoots mostly just before and during the hunting season...larger fletching can be a big asset and help negate lapses in form and some slight tuning issues.

    I shoot 2" blazers. I don't know the technical reasons, but I seem to shoot better with them.
