Big fletchings

Since I'll be shooting indoors for the next few months, and some of my arrows need refletching, was going to try to long fletchings or even feathers on a few to see if it will improve things.

Question is, will this affect the tuning in any way, cos I don't really want to mess about too much.

Ta.

Only slightly the extra weight of the bigger fletching will make the dynamic spine very slightly stiffer. More important is that you don't run into clearance problems so pick your size carefully.

I use plasti-fletch EP23 on my indoor arrows, and if they grouped any better i'd need at least one new arrow every end! Size isn't everything....

Smile Big Ones

I use 5 inch feathers indoors and am happy with them. They do damage from contact but usually they rub back into place. Being a novice they help keep the arrow straight indoors. I just shot 556 with them in competition on a Portsmouth and as a result am a very happy novice.

I have 5" feathers on my Fatboys indoors. They now fly better with 160gn points. In nearly 2 seasons of indoor shoots, I have lost 2 shafts, but quite a few Beiter 19/1 nocks.
