Two fletch
Pat B:
Not necessarily. All the feathers do is steer the arrow in flight by adding drag to the rear of it. The spin of the arrow stabilizes it in flight like a spinning football flies better. If the arrow is spined correctly for the bow and shooter it doesn't matter what type of fletching is used. The practice of "bare shaft" tuning proves that an arrow can fly well without any fletching at all. Adding fletching will help the arrow fly true with a broadhead attached.

I thought two fletch were not supposed to spin at all when you shoot it.

TBod, 2-fletched arrows spin just as much as three-fletches, I always put mine on with a bit of helical like the Eastern Woodland Indians did. If your two-fletched arrows don't spin, then they're not fletched right and they sure won't fly right.

Wayne, that's where those git-tar pickin' callouses on your fingertips come in handy. ;D
Pat B:
my calluses are from nose picking. ;D I don't play guitar. :(
recurve shooter:
thanks, i get it now, and i agree. spinning a broadhead on your finger tip might hurt a little.
TBod:
Well I have to admitt none of my arrows spin. Not that I have noticed anyway. I might have to improve my fletching or go to the optician again.
But some of them fly pretty good and some not..
