using both sides of the feather?
dragonman:
Mullet doesnt that contradict what Hillbilly said above about using the 2 sides on the same arrow ??? or is it different for a 2 fletch? ???
El Destructo:
If you lay the Feathers on in a Two Fletch pattern....both edges of the Feather are curled up away from the Shaft...on Both Feathers more or less making it a 4 fletch Arrow ...or if you do it like the Northeastern Tribes did...you split the Feather 3/4 of the way up...and only use both sides of the Feather at the Nock end....I am sure that someone has some good pictures of these two styles...If I keep yacking....I am going to be late for Work........ ::)

No, two-fletches are no different in requiring same-side feathers to fly well, but Eddie is talking about using two whole feathers for eastern woodland-style fletching (not split all the way.) similar to these.
As you get away from the center of the tail, the feathers become more curved toward each side like wing feathers. There are left-side, right-side, and center tailfeathers, so even with tailfeathers you have to match sides unless it's the flat, even center ones..
