Thanks guys. It's fun trying the primitive styles of fletchings. They all work well with a little practice. I have been going through back issues and have found 3 different primitive styles so I will play with them to improve my execution of the styles.   Pat

NOW i get it.  first i thought the feathers (or at least one) were split, so they can form an X, but they're only bent.  you tricky devil, you.  >:D

Marius, I'm not the tricky one just the plagiarizing one! ;D  I noticed yesterday that if you lay the feather up side down the feathers fold better and give a better 4 fletch appearance and a better fletching effect.     Pat

Yep! 2 "Vs"  ;D  It took me a while to figure it out after reading the PA article a few times. ::)   This arrow is very quiet in flight despite the tall fletchings. I guess being as short(lengthwise) as it is(3" to 3 1/2") that helps to eliminates the sound and being softer feathers(tail or secondary) helps also.

I've read the article about this fletching style in PA for a while and finally after seeing it posted here recently I went back and reread the article and looked close to the pics and it hit me. I guess I was trying to over think it!  ::)    Pat
