I tried to like them, I really have. But I'm tire of feathers maintenance even if I like how they look. Maybe I'm hard on them or because I'm using feathers from my mentor that are 50+ year olds. But they barely last a few days of shooting and I'm tire of fletching them all the time. I have try the AAE Trad Vanes. At first I loved them, except they were hard to fletch. But TO ME, they dont hold up either, really delicates.
So I'm giving up on off the shelf shooting for now so I can move to plastic vanes. I am going to start using arrows with soft vanes like AAE Plastifletch.
Anyway, what elevated rests are you all using? I'm leaning toward a Bear Weatherest. Should I know anything before/after installing it on my bows? These are traditional wood risers without holes. And no I'm not going to drill holes for a plungers, nothing wrong with that but I dont trust my skills!
