Why 2-fletch?
JackCrafty:
Hmmmm...why would someone do extensive studies on the effects of crosswind on two fletched arrows? Perhaps the same reason someone does extensive studies on watching people's jaws drop?
Sorry, couldn't resist. ;D
I used to make two fletch kid's arrows....until the kids got bored with the arrows that "make me miss the target". That's extensive enough for me. ;)
Pat B:
These are 3 of my 6 hunting arrows from this past season. Two of these are a modified Cherokee 2 fletch and the third is a 2 fletch with my burn pattern feathers. I put a 180deg twist in the 2 fletch when tied on.
Traxx:

Maybe to document the facts,cause they got sick of people tellin em,they wouldnt work,even though the proof was right in front of em.
;D,Sorry,couldnt resist.
DanaM:
I think like Traxx said if your arrows are well tuned to your bow then fletching becomes less critical.
I also have a a 25" draw and I'm interested in getting better performance so it makes sense to minimize drag
on the arrow by reducing the amount of fletching, whether you use 2 or 3 fletch.
Pat B:
If you look at an arrow, point on, you can see the amount of wind resistance your fletchng has. I'd bet some of the 2 fletch will have as much or more drag(wind resistance) as a 3 fletch, especially if you added helical to the 2fletch.
Like with fluflus, some folks thing 6 full width feathers as a fluflu will slow an arrow better than a single feather spiraled around the shaft. Sight down the two twpes of fluflus and see which one would have more wind resistence. The spiral fluflu covers the entire space around the shaft where as the 6 straight fletched fluflu has 6 blank spaces for the air to flow.
