how long do you make your fleachings?
-
5"long, 1/2" tall at the back and almost flush at the front on a straight cut fletch, Bub
-
I like a traditional old English cut. 5 -5 1/2 " long 3/4" at the back flush to the shaft at the front.
-
My thoughts ...if an arrow is bare shaft tuned and hits the target any size will make the arrow fly better. So mine are shorter now than when I started but still about 4.5
-
About 4.5 inches.
-
that depends on what the arrows are used for... if they are flight arrows make them short and bulb like if the are hunting arrows make them about 4.5 to 5 inches long. if the bow is recurved parabolics always work really well if its a longbow leave the fletching square. it always works for me when i follow those rules
-
3",4" or 5". It doesnt really matter much if you have the right arrow.

yea, i just like the look's on a na type fletch, Bub

I hear ya bub. I have my favorites to. Last summer I did alot of fletching experimenting with ft's and broadheads. I got good flight right down to 3" feathers trimmed 1/2" tall on 29" arrows. I like 4 or 5 inchers because its easier for me to see in flight.

I make mine shorter than the brace height of the bow I intend to shoot from.
