Which arrow Fletchings are better?
Straight fletching is applied straight with the arrow shaft. This type of fletching results in the fastest arrow flight and is recommended for close range shots. Straight fletching can cause slight arrow drag and is at a higher risk of the flight being affected by the wind.
What are Fletchings on an arrow?
Fletching is the fin-shaped aerodynamic stabilization device attached on arrows, bolts, darts, or javelins, and are typically made from light semi-flexible materials such as feathers or bark. Each piece of such fin is a fletch, also known as a flight or feather.

What are the quietest arrow vanes?
The quietest fletching that we used with offset was the mini blazer. Now the quietest fletching always was produced when we used the straight clamp and fletched up a arrow with blazers or mini blazers with no offset or helical. These arrows were way quieter than the ones with offset and or helical.
