how i make 2 fletch arras..lots o pics.
Dustybaer:
thanks jamie
here are my attempts. arrows didn't fly worth a crap (probably because the quill is too far from the shaft). i also tried it with atlatl darts, those worked better. sorry for the poor quality of the pictures.

I basically do mine like your 1st and 5th arrow shown in your second picture Dustybaer. Couple of exceptions though. My finished fletch is inside out (curvature out) compared to yours (curvature in). Your main or full vane side which is right handed is left fletched. Correct those two things and these two-fletch will match a three-fletch for accuracy. Will try to add a photo.-ART B

nice art!!!
hey dustybaer...your arrows probably flew bad becauce you have both right and left full feathers trying to spin in different directions...
if you want to see a similar action go fletch up an arra with 2 rh feathers and one left wing... then youll get that same erratic flight .
i only keep pcs on to SLOW the arrow down so my LARGE heads do not plane.
cool pic guys!!!

Dustybaer:
art, thanks again for your explanation. that picture really helped. very nice fletching (as was to be expected from a master fletcher like you ;D )
jamie, all feathers on the two-fletched arrows were from the same wing, so that wasn't the problem. it must be the way i put them on (and maybe i trimmed them too much. only about 3/8 left on each side of the quill)
