How do y'all feel about using the small diameter arrows on a trad bow?
What fletching do you use?
I am just curious and had thought about Experimenting with some victory vaps after season.

I use them. I have tried 5" 4" and 3" feathers @ 3 fletch 4 fletch 5 fletch and two fletch. They all seem to fly very well. I shoot them out of a 40 lb longbow.

They work as well as any as long as the proper spine is chosen of course.
I fletch all my arrows right offset, but feather shape and size changes with my mood.

Im shooting target with .204 victories, and hunting with vaps. Both have half outs. And im using 3 4" straight fletched para's, just cause IBO requires 4". But i have shot 2" fletching with great success. In my opinion nothing shoots as good as a victory.

I shoot them and love the .166 micro diameter shafts. With Ethics Archery outserts, they build a tough arrow. I run Gateways 2" bat wings. Sometimes three fletch, sometimes four fletch.

I run 4 3" parabolics fletched 90x90 on .204 shafts and get perfect flight. Medium helical.

It shoot Easton 204s with with Ethics’ inserts and really like them. Have used 4 1/2” 3 fletched and just switched to 3” 4 fletched 90*. To me, they aren’t too small, are extremely durable and fly really well.

I have some A/C/Cs that I got in a trade…
They are an excellent quality arrow, and they shoot absolutely fine… They are far better as arrows than I am as an archer, of course…
The only thing I do not like about them is that they require some special components which I don’t need for anything else, and the thought of dropping close to $30 on a dozen half-outs when I only need three or four really does rankle a bit… LOL.

wow.. I just commented on this on the multi fletcher thread...
I have been shooting the Skylon Brixxon (4.2mm/0.166") and Performa (3.2mm/0.125") arrows. Cheap and good quality.
For reference- I went to 0.125"/ 3.2mm to 1 get lightest GPI arrows for my relatively low draw weight bows (~30# on tips, at 31.5" draw) so my reach could extend to slightly greater distances or put more weight in tip and less in shaft for FoC // 2 effectively get slightly better centershot on my OLD bows (Wing Preso, Bear B and C risers, etc) / try to get consistent offset on all my older bows. // 3 expected thicker sidewalls would lead to greater durability.. and I do find these things more durable for my spine choices. I shoot about 10k shots annually, have only broken a few arrows this year. These things are very tough.
Offsetting challenges make me wonder if I made the right choice: 1 harder to fletch accurately // 2 harder than heck to reuse as a hunting arrow/knockaround arrow as need expensive outserts/etc, // 3 availability right now is very bad as I wait 3 months to get arrows now that used to ship in days, etc.
There is a lot to be said for having simple, easy to use arrows you can buy pre-fletched. Maybe I am just getting old, but easy is very attractive. For simplicity it is hard to beat the Black Eagle Vintage or Easton Legacy.. but it is hard to give up 40-50 grains into shafts on my 32" long shafts.
