two-fletch test
Pat B:
This is my first so with the others I will add more helical. This one flew straight but didn't seem to spin much. I'll have to try one with an broadhead on it and see how they do. If they work well I plan to hunt with them. I used full length store bought feathers and burned them to 5 1/2" to 6".
I would call it fear more than respect and admiration. ;D Pat
recurve shooter:
pat, nice arra, but would ya please KILL THAT DEER!?!?
just kiddin. i know it a target.
Traxx:
The man,that turned me on to 2 fletch,Gordy Mickens,says he has used 4" fletch with good results.That is with broadheads.I have used em with broadheads as well,and got good flight,but not at large game like Elk.Gordy and Jim,use Right wing feathers and dont put alot of hellical to em.More of just an Offset really.
Traxx:
These guys dont shoot primitive,but i dont see,that it would make a difference.Here it is,in Jims own words.

Pat B:
OK Marius. This is #2. A bit more helical and on sourwood instead of cane. I haven't had a chance to test it yet but will tomorrow afternoon. Also, if the pics show up well enough, is a field point idea Kenneth(Little John) had. It is pieces of blade material that is pre cut to a certain shape(I'll post pics of these and the ones he made for cane), inserted in a slot like trade point and glued in. There is an indented area just behind the point for a wrap. I used art. sinew and super glue. I used TBIII to set the point but didn't let it cure long enough before I messed with it(wife told me so! ::) ) so I re-glued with super glue. Pat
