I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advice on selecting arrow shafting for my traditional 46# recurve.
Currently I am shooting off the shelf with cedar arrows (about 30 lb spine weight) that are helically fletched with 5" turkey feathers, loaded with 70 grain field points.
I'm getting curious about aluminum and carbon arrows. Do they perform a whole lot better? What are some good name brands/models? And what do most traditional archers shoot?
I'm asking you guys because all the guys in my local pro-shop are compound users, and they can't really break it down for me.
Thanks,
PS: Aside from looks, is there a difference between shield and parabolic fletching?
