honest question is it flavor of the week is it for super heavy arrows? any appreciable difference to a normal joe?
More is better or at least that’s what she said. I’ve always shot 4 fletch for no particular reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There will be a plethora of different pros and cons for each person, best bet is to test yourself, I ran 4 fletch last year and loved it, definitely might have been placebo but I shot it great
I use to shoot 2" blazers. I had problems with slight contact from them. So went with a low profile vane. I started getting a little tail wobble when shooting a fixed broadheads. So went to a 4 fletch and that cleaned up that. It help create a little more drag at rear of arrow and stabilize the arrow. I also shoot a heavy arrow. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
What Holt said. Most go to a 4 fletch when they need more steering with a broad head with a lot of "planing" surface. A drastic example would be a set of 4 blade gobbler guillotine type heads.
Total surface area trumps everything, second is vane hight. Use a vane with enough surface area to begin with and you wont need to add a fourth fletch. No with that said I have played a bit with four fletch, both AAE hybrids, pro max and HP vanes. I don't see any difference or benefits over my regular max stealth.
I shoot Bohning Heat vanes which is a low profile vane. Same surface area as a blazer vane but lower profile and slightly longer. I found with my fix blades there is not a noticeable difference until out past 40 yards. But, it make a difference with tigher groups at longer distances.
