I refletched a couple of arrows with 5" RHand Shield helicals and made up a couple with 3 feathers and some with 4 feathers just to see what happened. As expected, the 4 feathers fly a little better, but what surprised both myself and a friend (who's a former tournament archer) was that the 4 feathers seemed quieter than the 3. I would have expected the 3 feathers to be quieter. Does this make sense? [img]graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
