Title: Two fletch arrows
Post by: stringstretcher on March 01, 2011, 01:23:16 pm

I would love to see some pictures of how you cut your feathers in preperation for that fletching style.  And would tail or secondary be better than primary?  If I can get some samples of how to cut, grind, whatever, I will try and get some done for the classic.

Thanks in advance.
Charlie

Charlie, I've always liked secondaries for Two Fletch. I'll have to hunt for pictures.

I just got rid of 2 goose wings worth of secondaries...from talking to others and feeling them, they seem a little soft.
