two-fletch test

<< < (2/19) > >>

Justin Snyder:
Dang Marius, Pat may make cool strings, but you are the man for fletching.  Justin

Pat B:
Nice Marius. Let us know how they fly.   Pat

Andrea S:
If they're still noisy, I was told that trimming the backs of the fletching at a backwards angle so that you've got a sort of kite shape helps reduce noise (you don't have those little free-hanging tips flapping in the breeze, as it were).

Dustybaer:
they passed the test with flying colors (pun intended).  absolutely no noise.  my best flying arrows so far.  match the signature bow perfectly.  point of impact on short distance (only have about 8 yards in the back yard) is the same as with 3 fletches.  i do expect better performance over 20 yards though.

thanks for the compliments, folks.

dingleberry, they are 5.5" long and .6" tall

justin, it will be a while before i can take it up with pat when it comes to arrowmaking (he's got the longer beard, you know, and according to gregb, the beard is a reflection of your talent  ;D ).

Dustybaer:
and here's another pic.  i fletched 5 more.  tomorrow i will complete the dozen  ;D

sorry about the poor quality of the picture.
