    What are the best vanes to have equipped to aluminum arrow shafts?
    I.E: feathers, vanes, fletchings, blazers?
    Also, what length?
    Thanks y'all

    4" feathers is what I'd use if I shot aluminum arrows

    IMO, 4" Tru-Flight feathers guide your arrow the best. They do have some disadvantages, loud (on bow/quiver if you touch them and in the air), effected by rain (but not as much as most people think) and cost. I tried a bunch of vanes in the last few years and like Flex-fletch FFP-360 & SK-300 the best. They steer my arrows very well and are quiet and durable.

    Now, all my arrows have either the 4" Tru-Flight feathers or Flex-Fletch vanes on them.

    Blazers work darn good.

    That being said, I shot feathers for lots of years with excellent results. They just got torn up pretty easy.

    I tried a few different kinds of vanes, but was never too impressed with them, and wound up always going back to feathers.

    Then I discovered Blazers, and the rest is history.
