I use 4 in. on most of mine and they seem to do fine,I don't think it matters much if the arrows are well matched to the bow. :)I use to use 5 1/2 highbacks but they just slow them down,
al tho they will correct quickly if you have some kind of problem. :)

I use 5 1/2" high back fletching with a slightly offset straight fletch ...not helical. Actually you should probably use the least amount of feathers as you can get by with.     Pat
