All I can say is thank you. I am probably going with the ics hunter .300 at 29 inches with a 125 grain point. haven't decided to three fletch or four fletch.

Glad it was helpful.  I like option 4 and option 7.

Do you think it would be better to 4 fletch for the stabilization or three fletch for the FOC? Is 13% to high?

I don't think 13% is too high.  Much better than 9% with broadheads.  Just not neccessary or optimal in my opinion.  Deciding on three fletch or four fletch is sort of like deciding on 130 grain or 140 grain in a 270.  Sometimes you just have to see what your set-up likes.  If you are getting some inconsistancies in rain or mild wind when shooting broadheads the 4 fletch seems to be just that little extra that can make things calm down.  Three fletched AAE Max Hunters will do the same thing.  Just adding a little more side profile and immediate drag.

I used to shot heavys, but switched to the carbon express maxima hunters in 350 with 100 grain slick tricks and four fletch blazzers . I too shoot a g5 primal at 68 lbs and 30 inches . they just make wieght and fly like darts . top pin 37 yards ! at 305 fps.
