 Being that I'm cheap by nature I have been reading post on the two fletch arrows and want to try that for hunting arrows. I have read post but most are shot with field points. Does anyone have personal experience shooting broadheads with a two fletch ? I have a gift card from 3 rivers and wanted to buy the unviversal low profile banana chopper. Universal means right or left wing and two fletch means less feathers. Told ya I'm cheap.
Also I pass by a lot of stands of river/hill cane ( dont know the difference) on the train and want to cut some for arrows. What size should I cut ?I hunt with 50 lb bows for the most part.
Thanks,
Jeff

I can't address the two fletch question, but I can tell you that I have used a Lil Chopper in the Raptor cut on left wing, right wing, and tailfeathers...no problem.  Secondly, I quit using the chopper because it is much easier to mount fletching with my Arizona easy fletch when they are uncut and it is quicker to just trim with a scissors like Ishi used. 

Pat B:
You want to cut cane that is about 3/8" in diameter at the base. You also want to cut mature cane, ones that the paper sheaths at the nodes are partually dertrriorated or gone altogether. Color change seems also to be an indication of maturity. When young(first growth year) the the culms are bright grees. As they age they turn more of an olive green or yellow green. If they have already turned tan or brown, leave them be.
  I have a few arrows, cans and sourwood shoots, that are two fletched either Cherokee style or modern style and they have stone, trade points or commercial points. If the arrows are made well, two fletch will shoot as well as any other fletching style.

I favor two fletch over three...unless im fletching with whole feathers.

Flight is the same.
