Title: Southeastern 2 fletch
Post by: raghorns on June 13, 2013, 01:17:47 am
This is my first Southeastern 2 fletch. It looks great and shoots like a dream. I like being able to use the tail feathers...nice colors

2 split feathers works the same in my experiance. It also saves on fletch bigtime.

Turkey tail feathers. I have some too. They are pretty soft.

I am insanely harsh on arrows... but even by normal standards those feathers are soft.

I like the arrow and using tail feathers, Lyle. I need to make up some more two fletch arrows and put the Bitzinburger away.

Really like those fletchings................cool looking point also is it bone?
Title: Re: Southeastern 2 fletch
Post by: raghorns on June 13, 2013, 11:55:33 pm
The point is bone...sinew wrapped nock, feathers and point, then black leather dye on the sinew.
The tail feathers are softer than wings, but I will practice with a couple and use some exclusively for hunting.

Those are some of the prettiest arrows I've ever seen. Absolutely love them.

I thought I'd give this style a try last year. I will never fletch another way now. Mine fly better than any 3 fletch I have, they're quieter, and better looking IMO.

Those are some great looking arrows. I've only done a handful using tail feathers (Mine don't look as good as yours),  but with wing feathers the 2 fletch arrows I've made fly as good as any of my other arrows.

Two fletch is the way to go for me.  The economy of it appeals to me.  I can fletch more arrows with fewer feathers, so it is a no brainer for a cheap skate like me.  I can't tell the difference in the accuracy, but then I don't shoot much further than twenty yards.  Those are great looking arrows.  Turkey tail feathers are beautiful.
