[QUOTE="dewiseman, post: 304119, member: 8984"] If your arrows are spined right for your bow, even wet feathers work. I shoot wood shafts with 3 5" feathers burned to about 1.25" height here in western WA where it is allways raining during hunting season. When my feathers are wet they collapse down to about .5" height and still do a good job of stabilizing my arrows. On aluminum or carbon arrows, with the right shafts your arrows will fly just as straight even with wet feathers because as soon as you release, the excess water will fly off just like on plastic vanes. ( I think the weight difference ,wet versus dry effecting your arrow spine, is what really makes the difference) They wont be completely dry, but they will fly. All that the feather or vane needs to do is give some spin to sabilize your broadhead and a little bit of helical will do that. [/QUOTE]
