I'm pretty ignorant about this. I use 1.5" Micro Blazers on LS 400's for spot shooting, and get great scores. I've fletched a half-dozen with the 1.75" low profile vanes too, for 3-D so I'd be legal. All with moderate right helical. They shoot fine too.
So, is it a stablilzing issue? Do huge vanes and fat arrows help your score?
I mean, an "X" is an "X" no matter what you shoot.
Hep me out here. :noidea:

Indoors the bigger vane will stabilize the arrow quicker at 20 yards, thats why you see alot of pros shooting 4 to 5 inch fletching.

and the same is true with a "fat" shaft. They stabilize quicker since they're more often a heavier/stiffer spline and with the max speeds allowed, you can shoot a faster bow with the bigger shaft in order to keep your speeds within those limits!

if your bow's in tune and your form is good, there is no advantage to big fletching for indoors.

Would form really affect how the arrow stabilizes, and once the arrow is in flight?

Psycological warfare. You'll have a vacant lane either side of you. More if you do some dance moves during "warm up..." :p

If you torque the bow at the shot, yes form effects how the arrow stabilizes.
He's shooting 20 yards with practise tips, if the arrow is leaving the bow straight with no torque, it won't need much steering to keep it straight.

Ok I get what you are saying I misunderstood you, good point. So the bigger fletching would be better for someone that would occasionally torque the bow. Good bit of info right there I misunderstood you the first time, sorry I questioned you just curious, guess I didn't think about it like that.
