Rick and a few others shoot vanes off the shelf on a recurve... it requires very special attention to make sure your dynamic spine allows you to get clearance when the arrow passes the shelf at the back end.
But yeah, feathers make the whole process a little more forgiving and give you more options.
Vanes are, generally speaking, the exception to the rule.

Swamprabbit, I know it can be done and have shot with a couple guys that can, but they are the exceptions that understand dynamic spine and tuning arrows to the bow.
I deal with lots of newby archers that have no idea of what spine even is, sometimes forgetting the level of expertise on here.

After playing with the Stu Miller Calculator Rick Posted and reading through this thread, I am backing off the 100 grain brass and re-tuning myself. After a series of shots the last few days I have noticed a bit flatter shots and still not seeing any flight issues with reduced nose weight.
Thanks for all the responses.
