  Wanted to show the orientation I use on the Eastern Two Fletch...I guess there's more than one way to do it but I've done some research and also from trial and error I've learned early on that I need rotation of my points for accuracy and to guard against wind plain...I have seen 2 fletch many ways even representing a flu flu type with wind drag...I prefer to use a 90 degree helo that gives me a rapid spin that delivers point control and quiet speed...I have here some pics that might help explain the orientation...You will see an overhead view of feather clearance of the handle along with the amount of helo to create spin to stabilize my points in flight...This is from a hunters perspective and what has been working for me...

Thanks so much for making this post! This will definitely help me with my next batch of arrows... very excited to give this a try! Those look really nice  ;)

   Glad you have an interest Fox...Let me know if I can help...I soak the feathers in water before attaching and pull tight while wrapping...I found I have to use a sinew thread to tie the center of the feather down against the shaft to make them scary quiet...Once tied and dried I use pine pitch shellac to water proof all the sinew wraps...These can hunt in the rain

Fox:
Great thanks! Do you use any glue? or is it all just sinew holding it on? also any chance you know what volume In TBB they had this type of fletch?
