Not had much time in the shop in the past few months. But really wanted to finish up a few hunting arrows. So spent a little time each night for the last week or so getting these ready to use. Really been liking shoot shafts with some target arrows I made over the summer so fixed these ones up to hunt with. Was never sure I'd be too partial to 2 fletch but after finding all I could on-line and getting a pair from Pat B in the trade this year figured I'd give it a go. Used secondary goose feathers cut to 4" and left half on the off side. Very pleased with how they fly, suppose that has more to do with a good spine than anything so I got lucky :). I did leave some extra feather at the leading edge, Which I think is more northern plains style than eastern woodland but I always liked that look. Colored up the shafts with the usual plant dyes. Just need to touch up the stone just a bit then they are ready. Will have to do a neater job on the pitch glue next time.
