Title: Two vs Three
Post by: PaganArcher on September 05, 2010, 12:24:58 am: Anyone know if two feathers is better than three for fletching? I've heard both are better than the othe but thos are modern archers talking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen arrows with two three inch parabolic fletchings fly really well though I think I would tend to aim for about the same fletch area meaning that with twin fletch I may use larger fletchings to get similar total area.
