two-fletch test
Allen7:
I thnk you must have done something wrong. Our cherokee two fletched arrows shoot fine. Depends on how they are trimmed. I don't have a helical on mine.
Dustybaer:
kenneth, i wouldn't consider it a novelty, two-fletches have been around as long as three fletches (i think ;D ). the advantages for me are:
1. they're easier to make without jigs
2. you need less material
3. can't prove it yet, but they appear somewhat faster to me, without loosing accuracy.
4. you can fit more of them into the same quiver ;D
5. i likes them ;D
benjamin, thanks. when you make the next set, try half with and half without helical. then continue the style you like best. looking at my native amercan archery books, i find about as many without, as i find with helical spin (unless my memory tricks me ;D )
peter, could't talk my son into it ;D but here's a picture for you. different quiver but same style. i sometimes wear it on the right and sometime on the left.

Nice looking arrows. Have you shot them yet?

Dustybaer:
thanks sean, yes i have and really like the way they fly.
a friend of mine is making a dozen tradepoints for them, so i'm curios to see how broadheads affect their flight. i'll find out early may, when i see him.
Traxx:
Gordy Mickens,of Selway archery and Jim Neaves of Centaur bows,kill deer and Elk,every yr with 2 fletch and broadheads.I made the best shot of my life,with a 2 fletched arrow.45yrds on a cottontail rabbit.put it right through the heart.I can still remember the perfect flight of that arrow,like it happened 10 mins ago.
