2 feather vs. 3 feather fletching??
Pat B:
There are very few feathers you can legally use. Only game birds like turkey, goose, ducks, non-native birds, etc. No sea birds, song birds, and especially no raptors including owls. This has been a law since the early 1900's. Found feathers can be very expensive if you get caught.
Hawkdancer:
Whatever works for you! 2 fletch makes your feathers fletch more arrows - most all arrows have 3. Be sure your turkey feathers aren't eagle! Glue 'em, tape 'em, or wrap 'em, if they are secure, you can see if they hit where you ar looking! (SH) :NN!

Bowhunting is illigal in our country annyways so when u do target shooting i think you can use Anny feathers you want. Not sure if there are tournament rules about it.
dylanholderman:
the regulation on bird feathers here isn't about archery but game/hunting laws.
correct me if i'm wrong but the ban on owning non game bird feathers/body parts was because of their use in lady's hats at the time causing over hunting.
bownarra:
Surface area is all that matters. Doesn't matter at all which fletching style you use.
