The myth of feathers being affected by rain doesn't hold water to me.

Ok so I'm leaning quite a bit on the Feathers right now. Should I go with the Razrs or 4" parabolic? I will be shooting Rage heads.

RE: Feathers or Vanes?
The only thing I have against feathers is the noise they can make. I know they shouldn't make noise when they are nocked. I've heard it before. I just look at it this way: if i don't get a shot what diff does all the rest of it make? I like to eliminate anything that could go wrong since murphy is my hunting partner

For real? I mean, I'm not doubting you, but, I was just thinking, WOW! I've always heard the opposite. A wet feathered arrow is darn near useless. Hmmmm....

Dan,
What waterproofing do you use?

Feathers have many more advantages than disadvantages.
I treat mine with waterproofing and never have a problem.

OK so i'm pretty much decided on feathers, but now I need to know what spine I will need. 28 in draw (might go to 29" draw), 61 pounds, 100 grain Rage and 100 grain muzzy insert.
