Same can be said of the drop aways as well. Get wet, freeze, and don’t drop. That might not tear a fletching but there’s a good chance it will, depending on the drop used. But it will most definitely throw off your shot, causing a miss.

They both have their good and bad points. Are they accurate at 60 yards? They can be. But it depends on the fletching style you decide you use, how well the bow is tuned, how worn are the brushes? A couple more factors with whisker biscuits but they can be good out that far. As accurate as drop aways? I’ve never tested. But I would think they’d be close.
