Long fletchings are generally best for broadheads and general target shooting. They help stabilize the broadhead in flight.
They may or may not be as uniform in wieght, but that is ok for hunting too.
Target shooters prefer shorter fletching b/c they are lighter and tend to be more precise in weight. They don't have to worry about tip stabilization. I use 1.8" Duravanes on my target arrows, and 3.5" Duravanes on my hunting rig.
Oh, booger, my cake is done, got to go...

Plastic vanes can last longer than feathers if you are hard on an arrow. Feathers could potentially be more forgiving if the fletchings hit something in flight (never good). I think the feathers fly better, but I shoot blazers. Try a half dozen of both and see what you have best success with...my .02

Blackforest excellent article. Two things to note there really isnt a great deal of difference in any of the fletchings. Secondly, mother nature and feathers amazingly do extremely well. Great job MOM! I prefer Blazers. (colors and strips are cool looking) I also think it has a great deal to do with looking good. Dont the deer like that?

I was shooting blazers for the last few years after moving away from Quick Spins. The blazers and Q.S, IMO, shoot pretty much the same. Last year I switched to the Fusion vanes after reading that article. I was very surprised on how much better they shoot than Blazers, especially at loner distances. They are a great vane, THAT LOOK COOL . I'm surprised I haven't read about more people switching over to the Fusion...
