You might run into cable fouling with 4 inch feathers.

Why so large? Oh yeah, cause that's what common convention states.

I would suggest a 2.25" Quickspin. It's got a nice low profile and doesn't over do things.
I am currently using a FFP 400 which is a really low profile which is nice, but I prefer the Quickspins and will go back to them.

One of my staff shooters shoots 585+ FITAs using 1.5" X-Vanes on his 2315's. He tried larger fletches but didn't score more.

Yes, my choices were made by what i hear. But i really don't like large vanes/feathers.

Is it really true what NAP says about the Quickspins, that estabilizes an arrow in half the distance a regular vane? That could be a major advantahe for indoors...

Only if your bow is so badly set up that the arrow needs straightening up that much.

Dunno, never done the high speed video to find out. But I imagine that 1cm being half of 2cm is unlikely to matter over 18m.

In the "smaller" vanes, i'm leaning more to the 2,25" X-Vanes...i use the 1,5" outdoors and i love them.

They should work fine.
Get yourself ProPoints, they will be more advantageous.

They are a LOTmore expensive...in a mid table archer, would they really worth the price? And what weight? 160?180?200?
