Fletching

I think if you shoot over 200-250 you may notice a difference in fletching. There's a lady at the range puts arrow after arrow in the ten ring and is constantly knocking off fletches. Even with a missing fletch she still puts them in the 10 ring. With two missing she can't hit the target :D

Woodely:
"and is constantly knocking off fletches" ...why is she knocking off the fletching..?

Another quick question some archers say that 2 fletching works just fine,  Exactly how would you attach the feathers on the shaft, like have one hitting the handle or have them 45dg. to each other.

One arrow hits the last ones and knocks off the fletches. She shoots a recurve and carbon arrows with plastic fletches. I have my suspicions that plastic doesn't glue to carbon all that well/easily.

Pat B:
She probably shoots off an arrow rest. Plastic fletch doesn't work well off a shelf or off your hand.
 The Eastern Woodland Natives often used a 2 fletch using either tail feathers or secondary. I'll try to find some pics of Eastern Woodland 2 fletch.
You can set up a 2 fletch so it doesn't affect the release and add helical twist to them.

Is there any info on how much fletching affects steerage as compared to just drag? For example would a very small flu-flu like fletch work just as well as say, normal 4" fletch?
