I have yet to see a setup where 4-fletch doesn't outperform 3! Thanks for the support from a fellow Albertan!

You need a balance of all of the above! Try a high profile short vane four fletched with a slight right offset! 4 vanes is always better than 3, and straight fletch will never help you. At the same time, a heavy helical will hurt you at distance no matter how many vanes you have. Short but tall vanes (like blazers) have enough surface area to control an arrow very well but because the wind passes by the entire surface area very quickly (when compared to a 3 or 4” vane), they are also very quiet. It’s the best of all worlds!

It comes down to surface area more than weight. Adding longer vanes does have a similar effect as adding a fourth, but longer vanes can pose other issues in compound archery when compared to short vanes - clearance, noise, difficulty of fletching on small diameter shafts, etc. your thought process is not wrong, but we just generally aren’t very concerned about back end weight (unless you start adding nock bushings and lighted nocks, then there starts to be a real change in dynamic spine)

@@toothofthearrowbroadheads Agreed, there are a lot of variables and what ifs,, just thought it would be a kool experiment to try see, or the difference it has on a longer arrow like a 30” vs a shorter arrow like a 25” arrow,,🤙

@@darkeningone if you’re into playing around then do it! You will learn far more by fletching up arrows and shooting them than you will from me on KZfaq!

Haha! I am not a trad expert by any means, but I do believe that there is no downside to 4-fletch on any setup

All same length. I would run blazers whether I’m doing 3 or 4 fletch. I’ve had good results with the longer X-vanes, but haven’t found them better than Blazers and Blazers are much easier to source

Thank you for watching!

No it won’t contact at all as long as your rest is setup correctly!

@@toothofthearrowbroadheads Cool thanks for the reply.. old Mattews DXT at 27" DL and 65 pounds.. i built a 500 grain arrow GT hunter XT with G5 montecs CS in 100 grain but the suck. They fly decent but are not sharp at ALL. I can run my finger up and down it brand new out of package. Question, so 4 fletch is better for fixed blades? This archery endeavor was supposed to be fun but i have found myself going to severe rabbit holes about arrow and bow tuning. Trying to figure out if i suck or if im shooting with an untuned bow. No pro shops closer than an hour and half from me. West Texas whitetail and feral hogs! Would TOTA broadheads be good for me?

@@Lovenlife139 very happy to help, my channel is full of information that can help you. 4-fletch is better for EVERYTHING! There is no arrow/broadhead combination that won’t benefit from a fourth vane! You should check out my video called “6 Reasons Your Broadheads Don’t Fly Like Field Points”. You issue is more than likely spine related, and not your bow - but maybe! That video will help you check all the boxes. Feel free to reach out with any questions! And yes, our broadheads have taken hundreds and hundreds of hogs and whitetail!

Absolutely!

@@toothofthearrowbroadheads how much offset you can advice?

@@Bluuubbb1 1-1.5° is ideal for long range shooting. If you don’t shoot much past 50 or so yards you can go up to a 3°

@@toothofthearrowbroadheads thank you so much :)

There is always something new to argue about in the archery world!

The drag would be significantly increased! The arrow flight would be fantastic but your arrows would slow down very quickly! Thanks for sharing and watching!

Thanks for watching!
