two-fletch test
Pat B:
Sorry for the poor quality of pics. Its late and these are taken inside. I'll try to get better pics of the points themselves and installed on the arrows tomorrow .
Recurve, you didn't see the one out at the end of the yard near the bright green bush. This pic was taken from my front porch where I practice my tree stand shooting. I have another deer set up to the right at about 3oclock(out of sight) at 20 yards and through some bushes. Pat

traxx, thanks for the link. that was very interesting reading. it's great to see that somebody tried a similar setup successfully. (and the guy has a 25" draw, just like me ;D i feel better now)
pat, your number two is beautiful. there's something about those helicals, especially when viewed from the side. i remember the points you're talking about. great idea. i'll try a few, when i get the bandsaw stock from VB. but of course the main purpose of that stock is to make tradepoints for my two-fletched babies.
now back to your arrows, i'm curios to see how yours perform in comparison between number one and number two, especially at longer distances. mine did well on short distances, but dropped noticeably compared to my three-fletched ones of the same weight. that tells me: too much drag caused by either feathers being too big or too much helical. your test might answer that question ;D
oh, forgot to ask: how tall are your feathers? (you said they're about 5.5" to 6" long, right?) mine are 5.5" long and 5/8" (16mm) tall.
Pat B:
#1 is 3/4" and #2 is 7/8" tall. I'll test fly them this evening. Pat

Traxx , Gordy Mickens from the Bitterroot valley? I used to hunt those mountains in my youth, before all the people moved into that country.. and there was a bowyer there by that name .. just wondering. Hawk
Dustybaer:
pat, since yours aren't as tall as mine, it must have been too much helical. can't wait for your test results. even though it's somewhat predictable that #2 will be slower than #1, i just wonder how much it drops in comparison. are the two arrows similar in weight?
