Question on two fletch arrows.

Hello everyone. I have a question for everyone who makes two fletch arrows. I have seen them tied on two ways. Some use the dull side of feather facing out and some use the vibrant side of feather facing out. In every ones opinion which is better and why? From pics i have seen with the dull side facing out they have more of a twist to them which looks like they would stabilize the arrow more in flight where as pretty side out they lay more flat? I am going by the pics i have seen though and have never tried them before. I was wondering if anyone has any pics looking down the shaft from the nock to see how the feathers look from each? Thank you for your help.

Pat B:
Either way works. I think the feather lays better with the dull side(under side) up. I usually add 90 degs of twist to a 2 fletch.
 I'll look to see if I have any pics. Most were lost to Photobucket.

ntvbowyer1969:
ok thx Pat. do you mean the dull side out?

Pat B:
It think that the feathers lay better against the shaft with the dull side out.

Thank you everyone for your help. I made three two fletch arrows tonight to go with a Cherokee bow i just finished. I think they came out pretty good. I used privet shoots that weighed 420grs. I used spoons for the trade points that weighed 90grs. Thank you all again for my first go at two fletch arrows. I am def. gonna make some more.
