I'm searching for the best wood arrow configuration for NFAA Longbow Field.
I've never played around with different feather lengths until now but there is a HUGE difference in the way a 5.5 inch feather flies at 60 yards vs a 4 inch feather.
Assuming you have a wood shaft correctly spined to your bow, what feather would you put on it? 3 inch with a helical, 4 inch with a helical, or 4 inch straight?
I'm looking for the combo that will be forgiving enough for wood arrows and give me the least amount of drag.
I want to try 3 inch feathers but I don't have any experience with them and I'm not sure it's enough feather for a longbow and wood arrows.
400 is my goal. It's not impossible and I won't give up until I get there. I just don't want too much feather dragging me down along the way.
