Why 2-fletch?

<< < (6/6)

Hillbilly:
Patrick, I've never seen much difference in accuracy myself. I use both styles and like them both, but don't feel that one will "make you miss the target" more than the other one if equal care is used in fletching them and the shafts are good. I think the bad rap that two-fletched arrows get sometimes is because someone just stuck two feathers on a second-rate arrowshaft and it didn't fly right. If you just stick three feathers on your arrows without rhyme or reason, they will flit around like drunken bats, too. Most of the Eastern tribes used this style of fletching, and their lives depended on how their arrows flew. And yes, they knew how to do the typical three-fletch, there were tribes all around them using it, and it shows up occasionally in the two-fletch tribes.

Dustybaer:
