My experience was that Flex-fletch 187 shields fell about a foot lower at 90m compared to AAE Plastifletch EP16s. Of course, that could well be me being chronically inept.
nah - probably right - havent done a direct parabolic to shield comparison - i went parabolic > kurlys > AAE max shields > bohning x-vanes (with a fair bit of toing and froing in that journey) and sight marks have never radically altered (other than for changes in poundage and arrows)
